“ Excellent restaurant! The food was great and the wine went well with it. The atmosphere was extraordinary, with a guitar-flute duo livening up the room. I recommend the lomo de llama con curry. ”
“ An amazing restaurant! Good typical food with many choices (we had the locro and lamb ragout with Argentinian wine). They brought a nice complementary appetizer. The music is simply amazing: the local band was incredible and the whole restaurant singing along. Excellent service, we will definitely come again! ”
“ We rolled into town today, and this was the first place we came across (dinner). We had ravioli and lasagna. Both were good portions and tasted great. We enjoyed this restaurant so much we ate here a second time. Again, great local music. I tried the Sorentinos de Tomate, Albahaca y Muzzarella with roja sauce. Awesome! They do have live music here if you're looking for that. Can't say what days / times. Would eat here again ”
“ We had what might be the BEST meat empanada that we’ve had in all of Argentina. It was perfectly filled and just so delicious! I also tried the llama stew which was cooked very well. Lovely presentation, nice decor and great food. We were given some white beans in escabeche for starters too to nibble on as courtesy which were delicious ! ”
“ Everything was great. Especially, the beef empanada has a lot of fillings inside, which made us satisfied. ”
“ Great place for local food in Tilcara. We had dinner here for two nights in a row. Nice local live music was playing starting from around 20:15. The food was really good. A lot of local dishes on the menu. I would especially recommend the llama meat. Very tender and tasty. Portions are large. You will not leave this place hungry! ”
