"No tome fotos pero comenzando con la chica que nos atendió, fue muy amable y alegre. Su servicio fue muy bueno. Hizo amena la estancia. De entrada te sirven tus salsas platos y cubiertos según la cantidad de comensales. De aperitivo te sirven unas sesadillas que estaban crujientes y sabrosas al igual de chicharrón. Te ofrecen la oportunidad de comer frijoles charros, los cuales estaban ricos. Con un toque de picor. También una prueba de queso fresco. Al llegar las cárnitas, te lo sirven acompañados de carnes hechas a manos. Esta de un tamaño grande, la verdad estaban suavecitas y no se pusieron duras. Se mantuvieron así. La carne por otro lado la sentí un poco seca pero con las salsas y el limón quedó muy bien. Tiene acceso a silla de rueda de un costado del restaurante. También note que las personas que esperan en fila para pedir, les obsequian un baso de agua fresca. Espero que les ayude esta reseña. Saludos cordiales"

"Excelente servicio, muy rica las carnitas!!, Sobre todo también las famosas cesadillas, que en lo personal! , Me encantan, muy buena atención en verdad por parte de los colaboradores, solo que si estaría bien, aceptarán pagos con tarjeta, sería más genial, o si ya lo hacen, pues hacerse más publicidad de que aceptan pagos con este medio, ya que si pretendí por un momento comprar más cosas, pero ya no contaba con más efectivo a la mano.,. Pero en conclusión lo súper recomiendo tanto para comer ahí, como para llevar a domicilio!!!"
