Genial! No teníamos mucho tiempo antes de subir en nuestro bus y la cocinera nos hizo 4 sánduches excelentes en 5 minutos! Recomiendo el sánduche de jamón del país! Muchísimas gracias

Sandwich de pavo sin más. Pan + pavo tirando a seco, no lleva salsas o alguna elaboración mayor. Servicio agradable y rápido.
