Entre neblina e intensa lluvia llegué a este lugar… la comida sabe muy bien y el precio es considerable. Acampé por una noche y el amanecer entre el bosque fue increíble.

Excelente lugar por las vistas, la atención, comida etc. Yo fui a un evento deportivo pero todo lo demás y sobre todo la atención de todo el personal que trabaja ahí fue excelente. Lo recomiendo para un día de relajación con tu familia (el sándwich está muy bueno para el desayuno).

Los desayunos tienen buen sabor, buenas porciones, el costo va acorde. El servicio es muy atento, las vistas son hermosas. Es de las pocas opciones de desayuno formal y tempranero que ofrece Tlaxco en fin de semana.
