“Carmelo’s Restaurant el servicio 100 de 100. La comida riquísima, también 100 de 100. Tengo 4 años viniendo a este restaurante y la verdad es mi lugar favorito. No importa la hora o el día que venga, siempre son bien amables. Las muchachas Klaudia, Eli y Lore siempre atienden súper bien, y en general todo el equipo transmite una vibra bien chida. El restaurante siempre está limpio, hasta los baños También tienen música en vivo y el House DJ la neta se la rifa. Y para los que les gusta el rock, hacen eventos donde vienen grupos locales. Súper recomendado.”
