“ The 8.00 menu set was totally worth it. The portion is quite large and the service was great. The salmon ceviche was refreshing. ”
“ Didn't want to pay for overpriced food on caracoles and walked past this restaurant which the server was promoting as the most popular one in Atacama. The set menu was very affordable at 8000. Had the soup and ribs with potatoes and it tasted good. Probably my best meal in Atacama as compared to the mediocre food I had. Lunchtime was busy. ”
“ This is a great option to have lunch or dinner in San Pedro de Atacama. They offer a menu of the day, which includes a starter, a main dish, and dessert for CLP8.000 (about US8). It's very nice that they have vegetarian options. Besides the menu of the day, they also offer other dishes. Prices are really good and service is fast ”
“ Lovely restaurant not exactly on the main street of San Pedro and therefore with a great price value ratio. The have a menu all day for 8000 with a variety to choose from as a man and good starter and postre. The salmon and the beef were very juicy! Service is good and atmosphere cool, often in the evenings life music in the garden. Highly recommended! ”

“ We loved the "menu del dia" - amazing food for a great price: 8,000CLP - for starter, main dish and dessert. Local cuisine, very quick service, live music. Recommending definitely. Thank you! ”
“ Good local restaurant, 8k menu of the day with starter, main to chose and dessert is definitely worth the price, portions are ok and food it tasty, salmon, chicken, tuna and beef in sauce were very good, grilled meat a bit chewy. Super pisco sour, efficient service waiters are basically running! Nice atmosphere, personally we would skip the life music, but some people enjoyed it.Generally recommended ”
“ We loved everything about this place! We had pisco sours and a huge meal for two with many different meats and sausages. We also ordered a take-away for the next day to have at the airport while waiting for our flight. Best decision ever since there’s nothing there! We did not have a reservation and you queue up and it goes fast. There’s live music in the back room. One strange thing was that they had sandwiches in the menu but they said they are out and refused to sell us ”
