This is a typical fast food restaurant located in Bustamante street with Mujica. There you may find the biggest sandwiches late at night. We recommend going there if you are starving after parting. You may find a huge (actually 3-4 people can eat from it!!!) sandwich of meat with avocado and tomato at $3,800!!!! 7US$ The beauty of this place is that it is served by the owner… “El Guatón”. Actually every one there is fat!!! So if you want to have a faty meal at night, this is the place to go. Enjoy it!
