Muy rico la comida en general y bastante barato según yo,las personas que atienden son muy amables y el ambiente es muy tranquilo pero a la vez es muy bonito por dentro.

Es un lugar muy lindo y cálido las personas que atienden son muy cordiales y amables yo he ido varias veces en distintos horarios y veo a los mismos trabajadores sea en la mañana temprano o en la noche y ellos con su cara de cansados siempre con su misma cordialidad muchas felicidades para los trabajadores de la pausa

Un amor las tías y en tío que atienden, siempre amables y con buena disposición, es un ambiente grato para ir a comer algo. Sin embargo, me toco presenciar una mala situación, donde la dueña estaba sacando a unos estudiantes de una mesa por dar el favoritismo a docentes de la universidad de al frente, esto no me parece, pues considero que uno paga por un servicio integral, donde todos merecemos el mismo trato, de ser un local solo para docentes deberían informarlo.

Excelente atención por parte de los tíos. Buena disposición al atender, con mucha alegría, mucho amor y mucha paciencia. Existen pocos locales con este tipo de trabajadores. Ojalá nunca cambien su manera de atender al público y a los estudiantes en general. Al llegar, uno se siente bien cómodo y acogidos por los tíos, es como estar en casa. Gracias por su excelente atención y por ser tan amables.
