Excellent place. Very traditional and family friendly. More than a restaurant, a place for establishing long time relationships. And that Felipe guy, the son of the owner... Such a sexy bomb.

Fancy local cuisine with gourmet touch, using traditional ingredients like quinoa and papa chuño. Very nice space in adobe blocks, surrounded by a small park themed as a highland villa, church included. Prices are kinda expensive, but the food is good and the staff seems experienced and kind.
