A cozy cabin, the goat is very tasty, excellent service, the complimentary consomme and kahlua chopito are appreciated. I recommend the goat leg (499) and the melted cheese with chistorra, it is a place where they will make you feel welcome.

Without a doubt the best goat I have ever tried, tender, full of flavor, very good attention from the staff and the owner, without a doubt a place to return to!!! The prices are quite fair

The food is good. It's not a fancy restaurant. Its northern ambiance is nice, and it features various stuffed animals and Mexican decor that make it special and enjoyable. I didn't love the music, 7/10. The food was good but not impressive, 8/10. I would recommend the cabrito (goat) and the arrachera (skim) 9/10. The service, 9/10, was very good, but they ignored a reservation we made, even so, they gave us a table immediately.

The taste of the goat and the suckling pig was delicious. There was a misunderstanding with the bill, but the captain was very kind, and ended up giving us a glass of tequila. Excellent attention
