Comida rica y precios promedio. Es un restaurante muy pequeño que se enfoca en tacos de los diversos tipos de cecina y longaniza. Los tacos vienen muy bien servidos a doble tortilla, me gusto mucho que la carne la asan al carbón justo al momento, por lo que la comida siempre esta fresca. Solo aceptan pagos en efectivo
