Great place to eat all kinds of meat and pet friendly. Remember to try the dessert and to arrive on an empty stomach the portions could be huge.

Good place, good food. However, too crowded/noisy on weekends for my taste. Better get there early to get a table and beat the crowds. Parking could be a nightmare. You don't need a car to go there. A bus (flota) to La Calera can take you there for (Nov 2017) less than U.S. $ 1.

Great restaurant very family oriented. Love the attention to detail and the live music. Was introduced by a relative and definitely a very good option to a restaurant where is enclosed. It ads an extra taste to the food and makes even more enjoyable. You can order a la carta or a pre fixed menu with a good sample. The jugo de mandarina (mandarín juice) was natural not concentrate which was a surprise to me.

Fantastic place out of town. Got a huge plate of meats, tamales, salsa, guacamole, etc for two. About 55000 but was more than we could possibly eat. Highly recommend
