El dueño o encargado muy amable el ambiente es bueno muy tranquilo, ja comida por esta vez no me gustó en el menú siempre hay caldo de camarón y está muy bueno, pero ahora o cambio de cocinera Cheff o me dieron algo rezagado, entiendo que no quieran perder pero que prueben antes de ofrecer a la clientela, (estaba espeso como atole y sabía raro)

Tengan cuidado cuando coman ahí. Me dió salmonela por las albondigas que comí, al probarlas sospeché que la carne ya no está bien, pero por hambre terminé de comer. Fuí un domingo a las 6 pm ya que no había nada por ahí a esa hora. Tardé 1 mes malísima del estómago hasta que me detectaron Salmonela. Al lugar le falta higiene, ví varias cucarachas sobre la barra. Dejé mi experiencia para que tengan precaución en comer ahí. Jamás regresaré.
