Es un lugar sencillo, bisteck, chorizo o combinado (con o sin queso) y eso es todo, pero sus tacos y quesadillas hechos con doble tortilla gigante hecha a mano son una delicia! Muy ricos, muy bien el precio y la porción. Eso sí, abren medio tarde (pero cierran hasta la madrugada) y recomiendo las sillas de afuera, dentro del local se llena del humo de la leña.

Tacos llenadores, buenas porciones, ideal para el fin de semana cuando es de madrugada y no sabes que comer, o bien; cuando todo ya está cerrado

Las quesadillas son muy grandes con una tienes. Está rico el costo accesible , solo batallas en buscar dónde estacionarte , en el día , de noche es más fácil encontrar lugar.
