“ First time there, was good, the food and service, the price is right _ ”
“ Te sigo amando Piolos, me reinicias los recuerdos y los buenos ratos cada que vuelvo a visitarlos, viva la tragazón. ”
“ Lugar de tradición para desayunar unas ricas kekas y sopes. La mejor hora para ir es antes de las 9am, después se llena y las trabajadoras se alentan más. No me gusta que no hagan cuentas separadas, pero me agrada que tienen los anuncios de ello por todo el lugar para evitar confrontaciones a la hora de pedir la cuenta. Si pagas con tarjeta no necesitas esperar en la mesa a que se desocupe la mesera, puedes dirigirte directamente a caja indicando tu número de mesa. ”
“ The food is always good, the open space is very welcoming, the staff is polite. Though the waiting time could feel less aggravating if the staff checks in the people, or an appetizer is offered or the staff at the kitchen sends all the orders at the same time. Still, it is an iconic place to visit with a tasty menu to look at. ”
“ Good place for tacos! Service is good (can improve), prices are cheap and food is delicious. The "Torta Arabe" is really really great! ”
