La comida está muy rica y el servicio es muy bueno. Quizás sólo le falta un poco un ambiente más familiar.

Si he ido varias veces pero está un poco escondido del centro para las personas que vienen de fuera. Típicos platillos de Huajuapan como Picadas Tamales Pozole Chileajo.

Aunque fue pozole fue lo único que probamos, es un lugar cómodo, la gente local lo recomienda mucho y se sabe que la exigencia gastronómica es alta, primera vez en Huajapan y no les falló la sugerencia, también tienen el tradicional Mole de Cadera, la recomendación para nuevos visitantes es llegar temprano por la mañana, es un restaurante diurno.

Realicé una visita el día 9 de julio de 2017. La mayoría de los restaurantes en huajuapan, casi siempre cumplen con una sola cosa, ya sea servicio, estar limpios y raro el sazón. La verdad este es, hasta el momento, el único que cumple con el servicio, estar limpio, sazón y precio. Sigan así y no cambien. 1000% recomendable.
