"We were in town for the Metallica concert and this restaurant was right next door to our AirBNB so we gave it a shot. We ended up having drinks and two meals there! Staff was excellent, owner was very friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend and we will be back!"

"El ambiente es perfecto para un desayuno tranquilo, el café y la comida muy bien y el servicio de los meseros bueno. Lo único que no me gustó es que tienen un botón en la mesa por si quieres llamar al mesero pero después de tocarlo varias veces supimos que no servía de ahí en fuera todo bien. Los chilaquiles son muy ricos"

"Fui a tomar una clase de salsa en línea con la maestra Nadia y estuvo muy padre. En relidad sólo consumi agua mineral, pero los bartender fueron amables y en cuanto a la cuenta, se tardó y tenían un poco de caos. De todo lo demás, es agradable el ambiente y la decoración está linda."
