I highly recommend standing at the bar if you can to watching the staff pump out orders during the rush hour chaos is impressive. Beyond the energetic vibe, the service here is wonderfully gratifying. The staff mostly didn't speak English, but they couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating. They went out of their way to keep bringing a bilingual kitchen worker out to the front just to translate for us. We felt awful pulling him away from his work, but we were incredibly grateful for how far they went to make sure we were taken care of. The food itself is decent but definitely feels like standard fast food.

The location is convenient as it is right in Plaza Italia and right next to the Baquedano metro station! Not bad if you're in the area and you need a quick and comforting bite!
