Great guyThe turkey sandwich is good, though not spectacular, but I would definitely go back. The outside atmosphere is shady, a bit gloomy, and more like ordering and running away with your food. It's not a conducive environment for lingering in company.Everything was very delicious, I recommend it, except the place is very small.The best chicharrón in the entire chain. Many complain about the place, but for that flavor, you have to go there. Plus, young people should see what an old-fashioned tavern that the owners still maintain used to be like.Now with background music.
A young singer delighting us with '80s music.
Spectacular!Lots of flavor!!
Great...mThe chaufa with pork rinds is very good.
