Diner notes
5 out of 5
The food was excellent, the service prompt, and the prices good. We sat outside, in the balcony, and the weather was just perfect. Had coffee with a house pastry afterwards. Great experience.

Pedimos para compartir unos chicharrones, estaban muy ricos. Vienen acompañados de tortillas de trigo y nachos con salsas y jalapeños. El jugo muy bueno. Sin opciones sin gluten. Vistas a la plaza/calle principal. La entrada no es muy visible.

Excelente ubicación y buenas vistas de las ruinas. Excelente servicio. Un menú de platos que evocan a Colombia.
