Es mi 2da visita, a un lado teníamos a un grupo de whitemexicans, de quienes me tocó escuchar toda su conversación, técnicamente gritaban. Las gambas al ajillo estaban muy forzadas, como que solo las mezclaron con el aceite pero no se cocinó junto como debería ser. En general el resto se los alimentos muy bien.
