Reviews
Pulpo / octopus. The dish was spectacular. Cook to perfection, right consistency and flavor. One of the best if not the best I have tried. Food was very good. Desserts were well balanced of flavors. Great service, clean, friendly and nice decor. Small place by US standards, so make reservations!!!
