Read moreUn bar maravilloso! I passed by on their opening night and was so happy to see such a lovely, cosy bar in the neighbourhood! I went with a friend last night and it surpassed my expectations.

Both owners are superb hosts, a really gem of a place, go before word gets out!! I Well, I guess it’s out now!!
