"La comida estaba deliciosa! Buenas porciones! Y la sazón igual! Lo único que no me agrado fue el servicio ya que la mesera tardo mucho en siquiera acercarse a darnos los menos! Eso sí servicio de facturación excelente! Por eso le doy 5 estrellas solo deberían cuidar más el servicio al cliente x parte de meseros/as"

"Es un restaurante reconocido en la zona por su deliciosa y abundante comida. A diferencia de otros restaurantes de la zona en este si hay varias mesas ocupadas. Diversos platillos a precios accesibles, ambiente familiar con juegos infantiles, rápida atención aunque si tendrían que tener mucho más personal para dar servicio al cliente ya que solo hay una chica como mesera (Suri) la cual es muy eficiente pues hace de todo pero obvio no se da abasto con todo el trabajo (no es que esté molesta o de mala atención sino que anda en friega)."
