"Great location and very nice atmosphere but the food was mediocre. BBQ ribs were fall of the bone but 0 smoke and nothing like real BBQ Sause. it was more like a dark Asian sauce rather than traditional smoky tomato based sauce. Chicken was Ok, nothing bad to say but nothing special either. Overall the place was enjoyable. We will try another place next time but its not bad while in the tourist are."

"The people that work here are so nice! Food is cheap and also delicious! Only would not recommend the nachos because you really only get as little as they show you in the pictures! But every picture in the book is exactly the real meal! Would recommend the borritos, they were amazing."

"Lugar céntrico y a un precio muy razonable. Además abren hasta tarde y los empleados son muy simpáticos. Las raciones son abundantes y cuenta con terraza. Ojo, la quesadilla no tiene nada que ver con la de la foto. Es una combinación entre quesadilla y burrito. La picada estaba muy buena."
