We ordered the green aguachile on the recommendation of the waiter, since he told us that this is the least spicy of the three types of aguachile they handle. Delicious and well served aguachile. Prices correspond to the type of food offered. The atmosphere is very good, there are live groups and karaoke at different times. ”
