Es un sitio muy agradable, la comida es muy buena, el problema es que no hay muchas mesas y además la limpieza no es de las mejores tanto como los baños y los locales, tampoco posee de parqueadero y es un poco peligroso y más que todo en la noche, es un muy buen lugar para ir a comer lo cual gana la sazón pero resta puntos la falta de aseo y los vendedores ambulantes.
