Pedimos la colación había cazuela y pastel de choclo, aunque en la pizarra dice también pescado frito, lo cobran como plato aparte, el chop dice 2.000 en el cartel pero sale 2.500 y no tenían , deberían actualizar precio y tener stock. buenos precios, hay jugos naturales, el menú viene con ensalada y pan con pebre.

Nos fuimos a almorzar típica comida chilena. Era hora de almuerzo, la cocineria eata en la entrada. La atención de las garzonas es muy buena, desde el ingreso al local , nos dieron las opciones de almuerzo y los platos extras. Elegimos una cazuela de vacuno y un pastel de choclo. Viene con su entrada de ensalada o consone. Es a elección. Nos dieron pan Amasado con su respectivo pebre, para la espera de los platos de fondo. Para tomar , ordenamos una botella de vino. La cazuela estaba contundente y deliciosa. El consome era de la cazuela de vacuno. Muy rico. El pastel de choclo, una delicia para el paladar. Conversando ,tomando, vino y escuchando la buena música ,que uno elegía de una rockola que tienen en El local, se nos enfrió el Pastel de Choclo. Y la garzona muy amablemente, ofreció calentarlo. Con ese gesto , se vio la preocupación que tiene, de que el comensal, quedé satisfecho. Muy bueno, recomiendo ir a el restaurante, con ambiente a pueblo.

Todo perfecto!!! Pedí un pastel de choclo y era exactamente el recuerdo de los que comía en casa de mi abuela. Venia con un pancito amasado con pebre que era todo lo que es correcto. Particularmente el ambiente a mi me parece súper amable, sencillo y bien local, dicho de otra forma “típico chileno”. Ahh y los precios estan demasiado económicos. Yo volveré y lo recomendaré. Si te gusta la comida chilena, este lugar es el correcto.
