We had a group of about 10 show up to grab lunch around here. Apparently it's a favorite for some…read morefamily members who live in the area when they want to grab a nice, but not too nice, meal. For an American bar, this place would be above average, but for Tampico, this place is a bit higher end than most-- they have televisions everywhere, air conditioning, and well-kept bathrooms. They have a solid lunch special where you get an appetizer, an entrée, a soft drink, and a small dessert for considerably less than 200 pesos ($10 USD). Most of us went with this option. My wife opted for a pasta dish with shrimp. She seemed to enjoy it. I went with the milanesa portuguesa, which was surprisingly thin, but delicious. It came with a twice baked potato and some greens. Others ordered a variety of items, including fajitas and a vegetarian Panini. I didn't hear anyone say anything negative about their meal. The dessert was a small slice of cuatro leches cake. The size would have been disappointing at a higher price point, but after the filling meal at the cheap price, it was perfect. A couple of individuals went with the cappuccino instead. We thought they meant a cappuccino flavored cake, but no, they substituted an actual coffee drink. I ended up getting both and they paired well together. Service was a bit slow considering how empty the place was, but the servers were courteous and made sure to get our drinks refilled and various items upon request.

Good food with lots of local dishes and very affordable prices…read more For breakfast I would recommend gorditas, bocoles or desayuno huasteco. Pastries are also very good with a lechero (coffee and milk). Service is too slow though, we went for breakfast with place at 40% capacity or less, and it took them almost 30 min to serve our order.
