They are friendly people sweet ol guy very kind but let’s be honest this restaurant isn’t the same anymore. It was good before but last few times food doesn’t seem as fresh and the hand is a bit heavy on the salt. Most everything tastes too salty. Adding more salt does nothing for the flavor, it’s just salty.

This people with the negative comments are the picky good eaters 🤷♀️ they the type that complain about every little small thing. Its ridiculous 😆.. The place is not dirty been coming here since they opened. They are never dirty these people lying about the place being dirty is because they wanna be extra and lie about more things just cause they were picky on their food.🙄 Their food is really good the Aguas Frescas are made from real fruit. 10/10. As I said people...
