Tienen precios de restaurante de calidad, pero es peor que ir a la feria pinto. Jamás volvería. Debi hacer caso a las opiniones de acá. Cuando terminamos de comer y pagar, quise ir al baño y no había confort… cuando le solicité al personal me dijieron que no tenían, les pedí al menos tohalla nova (que imagino hay en cocina) y tampoco. No sé qué pensar

Hace años fuimos con mi esposo todo muy rico así que decidimos pasar nuevamente y esta vez fue todo lo contrario, Pésimo servicio estuvimos sentados mucho tiempo y nadie nos atendía así que le preguntamos a un Garzón si le podíamos pedir lo que queríamos comer. Llegaron los platos una cazuela de vacuno fría y una plateada a la olla seca sin jugo, con papas fritas fría también. Claramente con el cambio de administración cambió mucho en todo sentido. Restaurante con mal olor, baños sucios. Definitivamente no se compara con la vez anterior.

Quisimos pasar a comer por ser un local relativamente céntrico y con comida casera, muy decepcionados con la atención del personal y además la comida deja mucho que desear, nos quedaron debiendo el choclo, zapallo y era hueso no carne en la cazuela, deja mucho que desear en cuanto a platos 7000 por una cazuela que era agua con una papa... no lo recomendaría para nada

Amé mucho este lugar para ir a almorzar. Me atendieron muy rápido, con una entrada de sopaipillas deliciosas acompañadas de un rico pebrecito. Pedí una cazuelita y muy rica y grande. Está todo preparado con cariño y dedicación, fue perfecto porque necesitaba almorzar rápido 🤭! Muy recomendado si te gustan las comidas caseras y con un excelente precio! Todas las B !
