La mesera tarda demasiado en tomar el pedido y devolver el cambio. La comida estaba bien. No es un mal restaurante.

El sitio es muy agradable, la comida muy sabrosa y las porciones grandísimas y los postres súper ricos.El servicio es muy bueno. La única recomendación es que el baño estaba sucio. Pero la experiencia fue muy buena.

The food was delicious, the waitress very friendly and attentive. They manage a early schedule & seems the kitchen closes 1 hour before the restaurant actually closes .. everything except the schedule is great!

Puedo asegurar que uno de los mejores lugares para desayunar, almorzar o cenar al sur de Cali. Platos con buenas porciones, muy deliciosos y buenos precios. Hasta el típico corrientazo es excelente, muy buena porción. un ambiente agradable, fresco y música de compañía.

Un buen sitio ubicado en la vía hacia la buitrera, ofrecen comida típica y el lugar está bien decorado. Me gustó mucho la atención brindada en el lugar y la decoración está bastante bien. Recomiendo que prueben los chorizos.
