Somos vecinos y embajadores de la Santa María la Ribera. Y siempre pasamos y veíamos un anafre con carnes asándose los jueves. Ayer decidimos ir a probar en viernes y justo en la entrada a mi sorpresa, estaban preparando una paella. Pedimos unos tragos, cerveza, tequilita con squirt y probamos su menú. Caldo de camarón bien sazonado, ceviche espectacularmente rico y su paella. Probamos también su famosísima torta de pulpo en su tinta con chiles en vinagre. Imperdible!

Gran cantina que si tomas ahí te traen botana que incluye: ceviche, tostada y taquitos. Los fines de semana hay paella. Es muy famosa su torta de pulpo. El servicio es súper amable y tienen ambiente bastante tranquilo super tranquilo durante el día. Aprox $300-400 por persona. Regresaré

Excelente cantina para degustar buenos tragos. Atención amigable, uno se siente en confianza. Bastante recomendable su torta de pulpo y el bull.
