"Muy buen servicio, las carnitas la verdad que si están ricas en lo personal me gusta la que llaman borona que están más doraditas. El amigo Pitufo muy amable y atento con los clientes. El precio es muy accesible y a pesar de ello no pierde la calidad. Sin duda volvería a hacer el viaje por probar estar carnitas"

"Suelo acudir con mi familia, a esta sucursal les da un plus la tortilla hecha a mano, solo algunas de las chicas que atienden son lentas a comparación de la primer sucursal, el sabor y la calidad lo mantienen igual, eso se agradece, al igual que la limpieza!"
