Trato cordial, buenos platos, buen sabor y agilidad en el servicio. Para volver si pero deben implementar el pago con tarjeta de crédito un local con este sin duda.

Un sitio acogedor, música suave y trato cordial, pero donde realmente me gustó es en el tigrillo y el omelet de camarón, en cuanto a pan y relacionados muy rico, en especial si quieres salir de la rutina y disfrutar de un pan diferente súper recomendado. Las opciones en cuanto a gastronomía no son tan variadas por lo que te recomiendo sepas a lo que vas. Aceptan al momento de la visita sólo efectivo. Muy cerca del centro comercial Mall El Jardín. Tiene un espacio de estacionamiento pequeño, y sino, siempre tendrás la zona azul ya que la calle usualmente tiene espacio. ¡Recomendado!
