Absolutely delicious! My husband and I had an amazing experience — the service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor. We shared medianoche sandwiches, desserts, and a café bombón, and everything was perfect. Highly recommend Mi Apá for anyone looking for great food and even better service!

Our server Juanca was amazing. So attentive and friendly.

The soup came lukewarm but it was quickly replaced with a hot bowl of soup when I requested it. The steak plate, pork plate, empanadas were delicious.

For a sweet treat I highly recommend the Cafe Bombon.
