“ Este restaurante tiene unas costillas de búfalo ahumadas deliciosas por 40.000 pesos. Los jugos naturales también son muy ricos, en especial el de mango y guanábana. Sólo creo que debería mejorar el local. La decoración no es tan bonita y los baños eran pequeño y no estaban limpios. Tampoco es pet-friendly . ”
“ Best ribs in town, also grilled food. 1 plate is enought for 2 persons, big portions. Strongly recommend the ribs ”
“ The meat assortments are unbelievable. Choosing which one tastes better isn't possible because everything is cooked to perfection and delicious. Absolutely worth the visit! ”
“ Edited Decided to try again after three years and THIS time the ribs were VERY TASTY … I don’t know why such a difference but tue experience was positive … However the price of a platter (which is way enough for two) is over 43k pesos … a little much IMO but the prices have gone up everywhere I would still ask if the ribs are fresh and hold them to it Original review:Don't waste your money Went there because of some of the recommendations but I will not return or recommend to anyone I ordered the costillas (ribs) 3/4 plate at 25,000 pesos because that is their specialty ... When the plate arrived you could tell they were cold... They had need reheated (microwaved) and tasted like they had need refrigerated... Now given that these folks were probably not open yesterday (January 1st) these were most likely two days old. They were so tough that they were littleraly chewy and the outer part simply gross and cold because a microwave heats from the inside out .... It looked like leftovers thrown on a plate The waiter did NOT check on us at all The softdrink ordered was 4,500 pesos and it was a small size... I don't know where all of these good reviews come from but ... The ONLY saving grace was the Ahí on the table which was a garlic base and this is why I didn't give it one star... I have eaten WAY better smoked meat at a fraction of the price on a roadside 'if' you order the ribs ... Do yourself a favor and ask the waiter if they are fresh ... And hold him to it !!! ”
