Es un lugar a 35 metros del mercado de antojitos. Los precios son accesibles por la relación costo-calidad El aporreadillo podría estar un poco más picado, se merece un 8, los desayunos son abundantes y son sabrosos, el filete de pescado no es recomendable, porción pequeña y medio quemada, el menudo es excelente, se merece un 9.2, está bien picado y sazonado. Si les gusta beber cerveza pidan la caguama y no cerveza individual, la caguama cuesta $80 y una cerveza mediana $40.

Delicioso y lo mejor a un super precio. Los platillos cuestan desde $40.00, hasta $70.00, acompañados de tortillas recién hechas. Hay de todo, comida corrida, caldos, morisqueta, tacos dorados, carne asada, quesadillas fritas y en el comal. Además de agua fresca de frutas de temporada y refrescos para acompañar la comida. Lo recomiendo para ir a comer con la familia, amigos, la pareja o simplemente sólo. Los meseros son muy amables y atentos. Es un buen lugar para comer y pasar un rato agradable. Y por ultimo, es un lugar limpio.
