En cuanto al postre nos pusieron una tarta de limón y un arroz con leche CASEROS; otro deleite más para nuestro cuerpo. Lo adornamos con unos cafés y nos fuimos para casa muy satisfechos de la comida, de la atención recibida y de haber descubierto un gran lugar donde volver a poder ir a comer. Baixa Limia, hasta...
