"Good food"
Łukasz Maciuga
"The food was gross and over priced. The masa the picadas were made from was hard and wet from the salsa that was just water with green tomato and no taste. The gorditas with potato and chorizo was just horrible. I almost threw up. They need better ingredients and better cooks. At least the Jamaica juice was delicious. Do not recommend."

"The location is convenient to the hotels.The customer service was bad! The food was not good. I had a pibill torta i took one bite and couldn't finish. My kids had the tostatas, they had no flavor . My brother had the Gorditas, the meat was a bit cold and not what we were hoping for. We had to call 2 waitresses to attend us. I will go a different time and maybe i will have a different experience."
