The service is a hit or miss here. It truly comes down to as simple to if the person is socially comfortable or not. The pleasant atmosphere is well set by the restaurant's decor, music, and lighting. It can oversee the streets if you're seated upstairs. There are lounge areas and areas more ideal for dining so depending on your interests, look for either. The loaded fries were great to start with as an appetizer and had no leftovers on these. The three pizzas were a range. The pepperoni was nothing spectacular, the Margherita had tasty tomatoes, and the burrata, arugula, and prosciutto was our tables winner! Some portions of the pizzas' bottom were overbaked and harder to eat. The cheese melted well too! Keep in mind, the pizzas do not keep well overnight so I advise eating these fresh and avoiding leftovers. The mixed drinks were amazing too. We got a carajijo, espresso soda, Mezclarindo, and a couple of beers. The only downside is some of the mixed drinks were a tad small and served with lots of ice.

Overall, we'd come back! 🍟🍕🍻🍸🥃 ✨ Dined 5 people with beers and mixed drinks...

I'm probably going to make this place my regular stop, nice place, great atmosphere, the music is nice and it's probably the first place I've been the music isn't over powering were you can't have a conversation, clean place. Food was good, good selection of beer if you're a beer drinker, the margaritas were fantastic, Burger was flavorful with a good size patty. The wings were a bit small, they should try not breading them (I understand everyone is different but most prefer wings not breaded). The only downside was the service was a bit slow until, I'm going to get his name wrong, Edward or Edgar came and he was all over the place making sure everyone was taken care of and you could see he genuinely cares about the place, he was even cleaning up tables, he made my first visit a more pleasant experience, it's because of him I'll be going back often (he's the manager or GM) ... Prices are very reasonable and prices on the menu are in pesos.

Probablemente voy a hacer de este lugar mi parada habitual, un lugar agradable, gran ambiente, la música es agradable y es probablemente el primer lugar en el que he estado, la música no es demasiado poderosa donde no puedes tener una conversación, limpio lugar. La comida era buena, una buena selección de cervezas si eres un bebedor de cerveza, las margaritas eran fantásticas, la hamburguesa era sabrosa con una hamburguesa de buen tamaño. Las alitas eran un poco pequeñas, deberían tratar de no empanizarlas (entiendo que todos son diferentes, pero la mayoría prefiere las alitas sin empanizar). El único inconveniente fue que el servicio fue un poco lento hasta que, me equivocaré en su nombre, Edward o Edgar vinieron y él estaba por todas partes asegurándose de que todos estuvieran atendidos y se podía ver que realmente se preocupa por el lugar. , incluso estaba limpiando mesas, hizo que mi primera visita fuera una experiencia más agradable, es por él que volveré a menudo (él es el gerente o gerente general) ... Los precios son muy razonables y los precios en el menú...
