When we walked into this restaurant we did not get the same open environment as El Torero’s, this place had very small walk spaces and every table was so close to the next that you could hear all the gossip of the town which made us want to dash out of this restaurant. Although they did have nice workers, we did not enjoy this factor near as much.
