After wondering around in the rain looking for a place to eat something made with love, I stumbled upon this little restaurant, and was so pleasantly surprised. The women running it were so caring and attentive, the food was delicious and high quality (i had the tacos and banana juice-highly recommend), and they did everything they could to give me a perfect dinner experience. Please stop by here, you wont regret it! (Looking back, I wish I'd given a much bigger tip). Thanks a lot!!

I will strongly disagree with comments and ratings. After spending a whole day in National park and temperature was high I tried to find a place for light and tasteful dishes. I was lucky. I decided to seat at the restaurant because I heard great music. It's the mater of taste just like the food. Food was great, I got extra sauces... And friendliness and attention was something you can not pay with money. So...5 stars!!! I had a great time. Thanks for everything.

Great beer and appetizers. Classic rock music and personalized service.

Попробовав здешние фреши, мы поймем, что ничего вкуснее и ценнее здесь нет. Бармен, давитель фрешей, выдаёт лист с перечнем фруктов, и ты рассказываешь, что тебе давить. Напиток принесут в большой банке с широкой трубочкой. От божественного вкуса такая эйфория, что и алкоголь не нужен.

muy Rica IA comida y la atención de los mosos muy agradable el lugar nos gusto mucho
