Todos sus platillos 100% Recomendados. Hace unos días fui a comprar 1 Kg de carne campechana, está muy bien servida, rindió para cuatro adultos y sobro. Les encantó! Ayer fui a comprar hamburguesas, son asadas, de buen tamaño y precio, demás de que están deliciosas. No hay necesidad de bajar de tu auto para ordenar.

Los ratoncitos son buenos. Lo unico malo es que no te llevan la cuenta en papel.

Buen servicio, atención buena, la comida en este caso pedí hamburguesas y el queso para fundirse era quesillo pero debe ser quesillo con alto contenido en grasa y agua para quedar bien este se sintió un poco seco y plastificados pero en general bien, la que pedí hawaiana porque me gusta mucho la combinación. Lo que no me gustó es que paso un tráiler y lanzó mucho humo. Precios bastante buenos.

La comida está sabrosa, hay variedad y sus precios accesibles. En particular las hamburguesas me agradaron. El servicio puede mejorar mucho, te atienden como con cara de "ahora qué quieres?" y el personal se queda platicando con los taqueros en lugar de pendiente de las mesas. Más te ven los taqueros cuando necesitas algo y haces señas, que la mesera.
