This small local restaurant is a hidden gem. Maria, the owner and chef, puts her heart into every dish and welcomes you like family. Everything is fresh and delicious, but for me, nothing beats her orange juice—sweet, natural, and freshly squeezed, the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, perfect for taking a break from the day. Every visit leaves me wanting to come back. Without a doubt, my favorite spot in town. 💛🍊 - Dayana Guerra
