"Los mejores chicharrones de la región. OJO realiza tu pedido con anticipación por teléfono o o whatsapp, de lo contrario es muy probable que tendrás que esperar un tiempo considerable para poder comprar. Los chicharrones tienen muy buen sabor , mucha carne y son preparados en el momento, ahi mismo lo puedes constatar. Siempre tienen gente y hay filas de los pedidos ya realizados y otra si en ese momento quieres levantar tu pedido. Están a buen precio."

"Excelente sabor, la salsa que los acompaña también aportan bastante. Te los venden cortados en cubos, bien para tacos pero para botana en molcajete no son prácticos. A la par de la Ramos o San Juan."
