The crusty bread enveloped a generous filling of premium ham and gooey cheese, harmoniously complemented by a creamy béchamel sauce.

It’s our last meal in tulum and we decided to come here. The place was empty but we still gave it a chance. The server was so friendly until the end of our meal. Our food was good despite being attacked by a million flies while eating. The restaurant needs some fans to keep these flies out of the way.

So much engery in greeting us so we could support yall but yall didn’t give us that energy back when we were leaving. If you want a successful business and genuinely care, don’t rip off your only...
