"Lo primero que hay que anotar es que si no sabe llegar… guíense por medio de Google Maps y no por Waze. En el lugar se respira ambiente familiar y acogedor, en cuanto la atención fue muy buena y pro activa. Los platos son buenos (la carne tenia gordo incomible y las costillas nos dieron alergia al día siguiente) aun así es bueno en realidad. Creo que es lo mejor que puedes encontrar en Rioacha y le recomiendo pedir una entrada de especie de Mozzarella Sticks"
