Great service and wonderful appetizers. i recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp covered in a creamy chipotle sauce served with rice salad and vegetables

The location is way away fron the tourists spot which could explain the reasonable prices. Open only for lunch, closed at night, best way to find it is to take a cab that... More
