After arriving here from Machu Pichu, Beto and everyone at the restaurant looker after us so well. Beto was super friendly and a great person to talk to. I highly recommend the food here also, everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We had grilled steak and chicken milanese, both meals were outstanding. Very happy to visit here again, awesome staff and excellent food! The food was excellent. We got a papa rellena and the papas hauncaínas and both were full of flavor and really delicious. The chicha morada was excellent, too. The service was amazing. We spoke with our waiter a lot throughout our meal and he shared with us a lot about Aguascalientes and Quechua vocabulary. We would highly recommend! Great Restaurant! The food was so delicious 😍 We had one Lomo Saltado and a Zapallo Soup - and both were amazing! Our waiter Beto was super kind and helpful. If you stay here for one or two days - definitely check this place out.

It was a wonderful dining experience. Beto our waiter was a joy and his English made us feel at home as our Spanish was lacking. I couldn’t have asked for a more delicious or catered to experience

We had such a delicious dinner here! The food was wonderful, service was kind and reasonably quick, and the presentation of the food was so fancy. We enjoyed two excellent entrees and an appetizer for only S/130, equivalent to $37 USD. There are a lot of restaurants in Aguas Calientes, but this one is worth your time and money!
