Nice clean place. Lots of food and drink options for a pit stop. Cortado was good and hot and the empanada was delicious. Nice sunny seating area at the front. Toilets clean enough, with plenty of soap!

These brands of service stop restaurants are great. The food is amazing from the fresh hit food counter and the staff don’t speak much English but are always very nice and accommodating. Always very clean, well stocked and outside seating.
