We just happened to find this place and I’m so glad we did! We had the extra pepperoni pizza and it was top notch. Cooked to perfection! And the service was just as great. We happened to arrive before they opened and they let us in anyways, and immediately took our order. There’s also a nice selection of desserts too and trust me, you don’t want to skip on those either!
Rolando and his amazing English skills as well as charming demeanour really made me feel comfortable and has left a lasting impact on me for both this establishment and the country of chile thank you again Rolando will definitely be visiting again for the lovely food and service
We stopped by a café; the place is small but nicely decorated. They have cakes, pizzas, and empanadas, and it smelled wonderful. The food was good, but I didn't like the hot chocolate; it was bitter and had that awful chocolate flavor I remember from when I was a kid. I think they should serve it in reusable cups for a place like this, unless it's a takeout order.
