muy bonita atención y toda la comida muy deliciosa y buen ambiente se los recomiendo
I had a very nicely served meal with my boyfriend. We went to eat a dinner plate with Skirt Steak, rice, and black beans. I really loved the guacamole flavor 😋. All the food very tasty and delicious 😋. I would like to complainant my waitress Diana. She did a very good job with our service. I would recommend the Quetzal Restaurant to family and friends. I will score a 100’/, to Quetzal Restaurant.
