Pedimos una parrillada de arrachera. Lo que me gustó: el tamaño de la porción, el sazón, las enmoladas, la atención de las encargadas. Lo que no me gustó: algo pesado por la grasa y el costo si me pareció algo elevado, pero considerando el lugar, es difícil encontrar algo económico. Lo visitamos un lunes por la tarde en la hora de comida, nos atendieron rápido.
