"We came on Monday 9th of March at 5pm with pregnant and peaky eater wife. She wanted mashed potatoes. The rest of the dish was optional. I've ordered 2 carne empanadas and they came literally a minute after the order was placed. They were fried and didn't have that much filling, but they came with a mustard sauce that made them super nice. My wife ordered beef stroganoff and changed the fries and rice to mash potatoes. They gave her double portion of potatoes and it was lumpy, but in a good way. You can tell it's homemade. This dish came also quick, maybe 5 minutes after the order. Obviously, as our timing was unusual for a main course, the place was empty. I guess that's why our order came so fast? Nevertheless, I'll definitely come back."
