"Pedí cabrito con pepitoria para almorzar, que delicia! La comida tenía un punto preciso de especias y de sal, la porción fue muy generosa, quedé muy satisfecha. La mesera que me atendió estaba un poco distraída, sin embargo el servicio en general fue amable. Con gusto volvería."

"Este lugar ofrece comida típica de esta región del país y es sin duda un acierto llegar a este lugar si nunca has pedido probado platos de esta región Tienen una carta amplia así que hay para todos los gustos. Algo que me gustó es que es un sitio al cual los locales van, así que es un sitio para ir a la fija. Eso si, ojalá ir a las 12 del día ya que después el lugar se llena bastante. En mi experiencia pedimos una entrada de chorizo de cabelo y la verdad, recomiendo a ojo cerrado, estaba delicioso!! Y se plato fuerte se pidió un mixto para dos personas y estuvo delicioso, desde el arroz con pepitoria hasta las diferentes carnes que vienen en el plato. Quizás lo único que no es tan bueno es la ensalada que viene en el plato así que pueden pedirla sin ella. Por lo demás estuvo delicioso todo. Así que de encontrarse en Girón en hora de almuerzo, es una gran opción para probar la gastronomía santandereana, un recomendado 100%"
