"Sin duda el mejor local de empanadas y pizzas que he probado. Excelente calidad para el precio que tienen. Las empanadas tienen un tamaño mediano pero con un relleno muy rico. Destaco mucho la de humita, que debe ser de las más dulces que compré, y la de vacío y provoleta que está también riquísima. Las medialunas no se quedan atrás. En lugares como estos se suelen descuidar con ellas, pero acá me sorprendieron bastante. Están igual que en una panadería, bien cocinadas y dulces. Lo mismo con las donas, la chipa, los calzones y las tartas. Valoro mucho la variedad de comida que vende. Todavia no he probado las pizzas, pero habiendo probado lo demás, yo creo que estará a la altura."

"Las empanadas y pizzas son MUY buenas por el precio tan económico que presentan. Las chicas te atienden bien, pero en el local hace un calor excesivo. Te hace sentir mal por el personal que tiene que estar ahí todo el día, deberían implementar alguna solución"
