Excellent experience! The food was truly amazing. The best meat I had in a long time, especially at that price. A great value in Ambato.

Stopped at Candies for some ice cream and ended having their Strawberry Crêpes filled with strawberries and two scoops of vanilla ice cream. They were delicious! Restaurant is cozy and clean with a comfortable atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive. I heard they have the best Cheeseburgers and fries. We will for sure be back and do wholeheartedly recommend to others!
