"Excelente opción, la recomiendo ampliamente por su sabor, el taco muy bien servido en cantidad, con 2 tortillas hechas a mano (que por lo regular ya solo te sirven con 1 sola tortilla en otros lugares), precios super bien para cada porción de taco, muy agradable el lugar, el personal que atiende muy amables, al final nos dieron de postre flan, que la verdad eso es un plus y se agradece. Reitero su sabor muy bueno y cantidad."
