If you really want to know the culinary culture of Yucatan, this is the right place, the flavor of their dishes is phenomenal, the service is like a touch to the soul and the atmosphere is very calm. I loved this place for its flavor, the only recommendation is to ask for prices. It is a hidden gem.

My wife and I loved it, they are LGBT friendly. One of the best places to eat, the seasoning and taste is the best in the city. My whole family loves to go on weekends. It is always good to ask for prices before ordering.
