They have a lot of variety and it’s good ! The only thing is the prices are crazy ! It’s a lot compared to other paleterias. I get it maybe because this one seems more fancy lol it’s premium! Some things are overpriced though. Makes me not want to buy certain things. Other than that the service is good. Maybe bring down the prices a little which I bet wouldn’t happen but you can loose business like that with overpriced items.

Awesome place! They have so many different flavors I couldn’t decide. We came in around 8:00 pm, and we waited about 10 minutes to be taken care of. The lady who took care of our order was nice, listened carefully, and had a sense of urgency. We enjoyed it this place a lot!
