It is very cozy place with very tasty homemade food! Personnel (I suppose it’s the owner) speaks English very well and very polite I eat here almost every lunch. Usually they have for lunch 2 or 3 dishes on your choice with a salad, you also can order soup and tasty desserts. And they also have very tasty chocolate cake! You should try it if it is available!

Food was very tasty and the propieter was friendly and provided quick service. I had the beef empanadas, which were delicious. The mixes salad was surprisingly good, the best I've had so far at restaurant or cafe.
