The bland interior aside, this restaurant serves delicious grilled meats and specializes in parrilladas, with an extensive menu that includes every imaginable part of the cow. The anticuchos and ubre are well-prepared house specials. If this sounds unappetizing, you can always get grilled steak or head to the chifa (Chinese) restaurant next door, run by the same people.

This hugely popular Italian restaurant serves decent pizza on a wooden block fresh from the oven. The list of toppings is extensive, and there are some pasta choices as well.

The restaurant also delivers and has additional locations around town.
