“ Muy Rico y abundante. Pedi la carne asada que viene con 3 enchiladas verdes (aquí le llaman de otra forma) y todo estuvo delicioso. La carne un poco durita, pero de buen sabor. Sin duda lo recomiendo. ”
“ Me gusta mucho la comida de este lugar, tiene un sabor auténtico del Estado de Tlaxcala. Les recomiendo los mixiotes, la barbacoa y la sopa de milpa. Lo único es que hay que contemplar que en ocasiones se tardan bastante en servirte la comida y luego se les revuelven las comandas o te llevan primero el plato principal y luego la sopa. ”
