Frommer's
"The long lines, even at lunch, are proof enough that this local institution half a block from the plaza is something special." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Superconvenient to the Plaza and with a fun ambience. The food, however, is seriously overrated, aiming straight for the perceived middle-of-the-road tourist palate. There's a nice patio." Full review
