La comida es muy buena, con sabor tradicional mexicano de comida casera, con un término de sal y especies esenciales. El lugar es algo concurrido por los habitantes de la zona A pesar de tener una demanda media alta la atención es rápida y eficaz, la eyección del personal es muy agradable y el precio está dentro del rango económico Las porciones son bastas para una persona promedio Durante mi visita aprecié lo contento que están los clientes al ser recurrentes en este establecimiento
