"Le pongo cinco estrellas porque la verdad que se come rico asado, te atienden muy amablemente y el lugar está bien… obviamente es un carrito al costado de la ruta para camioneros o viajeros, no esperes copas de cristal o mozos de etiqueta dentro de la sencillez del lugar es justo lo que se puede esperar. Para lujos y delicadezas ha otros lugares. Cumple con lo que uno puede esperar de un lugar como este, ni más ni menos."
