This place truly embodies all the characteristics of a great eatery! Typical dishes include cazuela (stew), arrollado (rolled meat), pernil (pork leg), mechada (shredded beef), and beans. The flavors are steeped in history and years of cooking experience from the women who prepare them. It's a family-run neighborhood restaurant, and the regulars keep coming back! It features antique wooden tables, a skylight in the middle of the dining room, and an interior water channel... When it rains, the atmosphere is sublime. Average bill is 10,000 pesos, including a glass of wine.
Translated by GoogleA very classic, old-fashioned place. Average prices (6,000 pesos), although the pork leg is a bit pricey (15,000 pesos). Everything is incredibly delicious, even the salad—amazing. Tips should be left in cash; payment for dishes can be made by card.
Translated by GoogleTypical Chilean food: pork legs, rolled meats, stews, chicha, pipeño wine, etc. All very well prepared. Excellent lunches and prices. Highly recommended.
