Hoy regrese después de algún tiempo, pedí un mixto a la parrilla , contiene carnes de cerdo, res y cordero más papa, choclo y ensalada , solo 46 soles, plato rústico , sabroso , y sin salir de Lima Bien vale la pena probarlo por su correlación precio/ calidad

Balance out the humiliation and cost of trying to score a reservation at the chi-chi restaurants in Miraflores with this gem. Their meats are superb, slow roasted in mud ovens or unapologetically grilled over natural wood charcoal. Their chefs don't plate food with tweezers; they use knives. Only open por la tarde.

Su café expreso es el mejor! Y sus alfajores son el mejor complemento. Esta cafetería se encuentra frente a los restaurantes, lo que da la impresión que está muy concurrido en las tardes, pero no es del todo así. Si van a almorzar en las inmediaciones, consuman las enfusiones de esta cafetería (son super digestivas y caen a pelo, después de haber comido carnes rojas) .

El restaurante se encuentra ubicado dentro de la universidad agraria en Lima. Es un lugar amplio y muy cómodo. La comida es excelente y las porciones son de gran tamaño y tiene muy buenos precios. Hay variedad de menus de carnes, pollos y cerdo, a la parrilla o asados. La sazón es exquisita, las carnes son de muy buena calidad pues suelen obtenerla de la cria de ganado de la propia universidad. Una gran experiencia que te dejará con ganas de volver a visitarla. Recomendado para ir en grupo para poder disfrutar de varios platos y de un agradable ambiente.
