"Un lugar de comida familiar, atienden el señor Nico, su esposa y sus nietos, la comida es simplemente deliciosa, casera, con ese toque de abuelos, con ese amor en sus preparaciones, las salsas hechas en el lugar, recetas familiares puesta a disposición de todos los comensales me encanta en especial la salsa de mango biche, es espectacular super recomendados, lo único es un lugar para recoger la comida y llevarla o esperar y comerla en el andén, un plan tranqui algo diferente pero que vale la pena conocer"
