I love their spinach and cheese empanada. I came here for our department Christmas lunch and fell in love with the place. It's become one of my favorite places to eat at. I have enjoyed everything I have ordered.

Had a great time celebrating an 80th birthday here! We had a large group and they were extremely accommodating, friendly, funny, and kind. The service was quick and all the food came out as ordered. Will definitely be back!
October 2025
Absolutely delicious food and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere! I had the Lomo con Champignones — the tenderloin was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For dessert, the Flan con Dulce de Leche was a perfect finish — smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness.
You can really feel the homey vibe and care in every detail. It’s a small, family-run restaurant, and the warmth and hospitality make you feel right at home. Highly recommend!
