The food in the restaurant is reasonably good, but the place is a classic bait & switch scheme. The main restaurant is open very little & closes at least one hour earlier than the posted time & opens quite late - it has maybe 4-5 hours a day when it is open - but they advertise the little window that serves only churos, icecream & the little pockets - none of which are very good
