We were craving hot soup, so my friend ordered an ajiaco, and I ordered a sancocho. Everything was super delicious, the service was excellent, and they served us quickly.

Me and my friend came to this place because we saw images of this place and thought it would b nice for us to try. When I tell you the food was bomb, me and my friend had to come the next day for a second round . Definitely recommend. People here are very nice too, especially Daniela, she was very sweet.

By chance we went there last night and had an excellent meal, and an enjoyable time. My wife had a large plate of carne assada with fried plantains that were to die for. I had the popular shrimp tacos, very tasty and filling. It is a small place but very pleasant, and Daniela was most helpful and charming. We will definitely go there again! Thank you.
