Guestbook
“ A nice restaurant tucked away in a Pemex gas station. A bit inconvenient to get to, if you are not driving, but have to admit that being from the US I am no stranger to eating at gas stations. The atmosphere was fine (music a bit loud) and the decor was modern rustic and the place was super clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating inside. Food was good. Tried the pollo napolitano sandwich (on a massive ciabatta bread roll) and enjoyed it, though it was a bit dry given all the bread. Fries tasted like fries. Prices were reasonable. ”
“ Good service, prices and really tasty food. Best of the zone. ”
“ Es un lugar muy bonito, la calidad de los alimentos es muy buena y la porción es buena. Venden pastas, pizzas, cortes, bebidas con alcohol y sin alcohol. Hay que ir con tiempo ya que va mucha gente. Creo el único pero es que por tanta gente los meseros no atienden rápido. ”
