Es una opción en Santo Tomé.. la.comida muy variada y rica, estilo bufete. Con opciones tipo brasileras como el poroto negro y arroz.. El lugar normal.. un comedor sin muchos lujos.. pero practico.. ambiente familiero. Precios muy buenos ( octubre 2023 ) por kilo de lo que elijas. Pero vale la pena.. recomendado.
