Me gusta el lugar, el personal amable y atento, la barbacoa deliciosa, y los antojitos también, tiene para probar pulque y curados, si te gusta?! Buena experiencia, los tacos son bastante generosos (grandes y repletos para ser exactos) los disfrutarás si te animas a ir....

Es relativamente nuevo el lugar. La comida está buena. El lugar está muy agradable. El pulque me parece que está mejor en la otra sucursal, para mi gusto aquí estaba muy dulce.
