La ubicación era muy buena, la cocina estaba bien equipada y el personal amable. Podrían limpiar un poco la entrada trasera que daba mucha pena y muy mala imagen.

Super chill
Really great vibe and very chill. Can't beat $1.50 beers and $1 happy hour special. Beers are on the "honor system" because as three part says when you arrive, "you are family now."
