    We brought a group of about 15 college students and we’re seated immediately. The waiter was very attentive and priced us with drinks and bread quickly. We ordered 4 parrilladas and they were stacked with steak, sausage, pork chops, and chicken, each also came with a salad that 3-4 could eat from. This place was a favorite amongst the college students from all the places they ate in Santiago.

    We took a very large group and they accommodated us very well. We got several parilladas argentinas for the whole table and everyone loved the food. With the salad and bread they brought, I think 4-5 people could eat from 1 parillada. A good amount of seating for a small restaurant and great service.

    It's been a long time since I've eaten chicken that actually tastes like chicken, with pink and firm meat like when I was a child; everything was delicious, the service was great, and the place was pleasant.
