La señorita que nos atendió fue súper amable, rápida y se ganó bien su propina. No me percaté del precio de los tacos, pero ahora que lo leo, creo que es algo alto para el tamaño de los tacos, sin embargo tomando en cuenta la ubicación y la subida de rentas, se justifica más. Nuestra experiencia fue buena Volveríamos? Solo si estamos por la zona aunque no sé si los recomendaría.
