Español / English below. 1 hora de espera. Es la primera vez en mi vida que me discriminado por verme joven en un pueblo lleno de turistas extranjeros. Llegamos detrás de un grupo de 8 personas los cuales fueron atendidos instantáneamente. Nosotros? 15 minutos después de haber llegado nos preguntaron si ya nos atendieron. Acto seguido, 40 minutos en los que traían y traían platos de la mesa pero a nosotros ni nos atendieron. Si no hubieramos llamado a un mesero, estoy seguro que hubieramos estado alrededor de 2 horas mínimo esperando. Sin contar el mal servicio del mesero. Una mala reacción a una simple pregunta de "cuanto demorará más o menos?" y se terminó riendo. Después de eso, nos entregaron las entradas de último. Entonces para que son las entradas si no las recibimos de primero? Además, la comida tenía un sabor raro, el queso del bowl sabía como dañado, los champiñones parecían sazonados en tierra y la cortesía estaba super dura y frita, igual con los panes de la ensalada Cesar. Me termino doliendo la mandíbula de tanto masticar puesto que todo estaba muy duro. Finalmente, al momento de pagar, exprese mi disgusto y nuevamente se rio cuando le conté la experiencia. 2/10 nada más porque la cómoda tenía buen sabor pero el servicio pésimo, advertidos si no son grupos grandes, no les pondrán cuidado.

English / 1 hour wait. It was the first time in my life that I was discriminated against for looking young in a town full of foreign tourists. We arrived behind a group of 8 people who were able to order instantly. We? 15 minutes after we arrived we were asked if we had someone take our order. After that, 40 minutes of bringing dishes back and forth from the other table, but we were not even served. If we had not called a waiter, I am sure we would have been waiting for at least 2 hours. Not to mention the bad service of the waiter. A bad reaction to a simple question of "how long will it take more or less?" to be laughed at. After that, they gave us the entrees last. So what are the entrees for if we didn't get them first? Also, the food tasted weird, the cheese in the bowl tasted like it was expired, the mushrooms looked like they were seasoned in dirt and the complimentary was super hard and fried, same with the Caesar salad breads. My jaw ended up hurting from chewing on these hard things. Finally, at checkout, I expressed my displeasure and again he laughed when I told him about the experience. 3/10 nothing more because the food tasted good but the service was abismal. Be warned, if you are not a large group, they will most...

The place is hidden in the back of some buildings. It has a nice terrace with a roof from where you can see part of the town. The view isn't the best but it is a great place to sit outside. And it has a roof you you won't be bothered by the rain. It is really colorful and the staff is very friendly. We even got arepas on the house ❤️ Food was...
