Excellent food. I really recommend the mushroom sauce. It is heavenly. Smoked pork chops were on the salty side. A punto beef was excellent. French fries are just OK. The potato purée was very good. Portions are huge. Service is slow. So come when you have time. But the food is worth it.

Simple place with delicious food. The plates are generous and can be shared. There is a way 'a la pobre', which means the main ingredient (beef, chicken, salmon...) is accompanied by fries, caramelized onions and two eggs. It is huge! Simple ingredients prepared at their best. I do recommend 'lomo a la pobre', which is a thick beef steak. The waitress was extremely kind and sweet and helpful explaining each one of the plates. If in Punta Arenas, a place not to be missed.

Sometimes a place feels right from the very beginning.. a wonderful friendly welcome from the both the staff and a group of friends having lunch! Followed by good home cooking and great service !

Great people and phenomenal food. Muy excellente place. Salmon with seafood and pisco sours that pack a punch.

Simple delicious food, we loved the fish with the garlic sauce. Not much variety, but you have the chilean traditional dishes. We had salmon and congrio al ajo, just delicious.
