01 /ARTEM’S NOTES

Salbutes on the table.
Caldo at the heart of it.

I really like the salbutes and smoothies here, but the main attraction is the caldo de pollo: chicken soup.

The photographed menu has chicken salbutes and panuchos at 38 pesos each. Chicken caldo comes in 500 ml and 1000 ml sizes, with separate dine-in and takeaway prices. For a smoothie alongside your meal, the listed small and large sizes are 75 and 85 pesos.

ARTEM’S TIP

Ask politely, with a smile, if they can top up your caldo. It is worth asking based on my experience; an extra serving and any charge are up to the restaurant.
