Clean, friendly people/atmosphere and good food! They were kind as we figured out thier menu. They spoke a little English and helped when we got stuck on any menu items. The fresco de cas was refreshing and I enjoyed that it was only mildly sweet. The dish of the day was chifrijo and was really tasty and very filling. The pork had a nice crispy crunch to the edges. Each meal comes with a little dessert at the end which was fun and tasy. We also got and enjoyed the banana cake and the carrot cake
