Si quieres probar una de las empanadas más deliciosas de Santander, este es el lugar indicado. Deliciosas empanadas de yuca crocantes y de buen sabor. El servicio en el lugar es muy agradable. Excelente lugar para compartir en las mañanas de una empanada con gaseosa con tus amigos, familiares o conocidos.
