Me ha encantado¡ Juan es un tipo sencillo y trabajador(atiende por orden, llena las mesas rápido y es educado). La comida, tostadas...Sale de la cocina, su compañera, también diligente. Lugar tradicional, sin pijerías, comida rica, limpieza, y, el baño limpito, con su papel higiénico y su jabón. Funciona cisterna, papelera y todo normal. Cómo debe ser. Precio justo (2 medias, un sin lactosa más la simpatía, 3 euros). Volveremos

Tostadas magníficas. El jamón buenísimo. Se nota que la comida es hecha con cariño. El dueño del bar (deduzco que es) super amable, atento. De los MEJORES sitios que hay para desayunar. Para mi en Badajoz, el mejor.

Siempre que voy a desayunar por la zona, lo hago aquí. El dueño es una persona agradable, con muchos años de experiencia y siempre atento. Las tostadas, son crujientes pero no resecas, y en general las que he probado están muy bien, pero una sencilla de aceite o tomate con aceite, sirve de referencia, porque solo con su olor, ya sabes que estará riquisima.
