“ The best cachapas I've ever tried. The masa (dough) based on real corn and you can even feel it when you grab a bite. The customer service is amazing. They are humble ppl that receives everyone with a warm welcome. Only thing is the place a bit small but we pray the business grow and they get a new place. ”
