I had a fruit juice and an iced coffee drink here. Both delicious. The ambiance in the courtyard was nice, but the service was so slooooooooow. Like 15 minutes for a drink, and I was there alone. I'd go back, though. Just be prepared for the slow service!

I arrived to meet a friend for lunch and found this amazing graffiti across the road from the restaurant. This filled my time as the website gave an opening time of 12.00. Having explained that to the staff they allowed us to sit in the restaurant to chat until they opened. During the wait I saw a minum of 15 customers being told the restaurant was not open until. a lucky owner who can turn away so many customers in this day and age. The setting is excellent and the staff are really nice people. Food is average at best and really could do with a really good review of the suppliers and maybe look at using local produce. Don't use cheese sticks deep fried, unless you change the cooking oil more often. Offer salads that are seasonal not just because that what you think people want. Talk to your customers. The picture you show says it all. Unfortunately average.

Went for lunch, quite a nice place.
The courtyard is really cosy and relatively quiet.
The food is ok for what you pay. Their tajins are quite good though!

I really love that restaurant, the beloved atmosphere, the good music, the smiling staff. Staff look like they are some embarrassed ! but they are friendly in general. Food are good and the location is very good in down town
