Quite but great food

Very good service.

Large square with beautiful buildings surrounding it. We got to see the taking down of the flag which was phenomenal. It was a whole production. After that was some kind of group biking situation where hundreds of people on bikes went for a ride.

The food is sublime, the service sweet.

The restaurant is right next to the NH Connection hotel. The door entrance is very small. You have to walk down a stairway to get to the restaurant. Good food and great service. The English Menu doesn't list the prices. You need to cross-check with the Spanish Menu.

Best Cabrito & Margaritas ever!
