On point! Went twice last weekend for two different experiences. The first was to try the steak and the second to go empanadas and tamales. While the steak was good and flavorful I have to say their tamales and empanadas are the best I have had. Their prices are only quite good. If your in Salta you gotta get ready to wait in line to enjoy this restaurant. Try to arrive at 8 to avoid the line. read more

This is a really nice restaurant. The servers are dressed as gauchos and the interior looks like a rustic ranch or something like that. It's the perfect place for a tourist to eat dinner in Salta. My friends and I came to eat here for dinner. They open for dinner at 8p. It's a big restaurant. We knew we wanted empanadas. They have four kinds: carne, queso, pollo, and charqui (dried salted beef). The empanadas are really really good here. The carne is the best one in my opinion. The pollo was good, but just a tad dry. And the charqui was also good, but a little too salty. Queso was good too. But the carne is the star. They offer a bunch of local cuisine, like tamales, humitas, locro, and cazuela de cabrito (goat stew). They also serve pastas. I wanted to try the goat stew, so that's what I ordered as my main. And it was delicious. The meat was super tender. The stew was flavorful. There were carrots and potatoes in it. A lot of bones. I was stuffed after eating all of the stew and 3 empanadas. My friends and I went back the next evening for more empanadas! And I tried the bife de chorizo which was tasty. It only comes with meat, a tomato slice, and a piece of lettuce. Sides like potatoes are extra. The place has great character and ambiance. The menu is in English too. Service is great. But they don't take credit card. Only debit cards or cash. And they tack on a service fee of 12 pesos per person. The place isn't super expensive, but it's not cheap either. Mid-range. The empanadas are also slightly more expensive at 13 pesos, when other places charge 10 pesos. read more

A taste of local cuisine. We ordered 4 different stews, and they were all delicious. The food is hearty and rustic, and packed full of flavor and texture. I especially enjoyed the goat stew with generous chunks of meat. Simple stews start at 105 pesos, going up to 180 pesos for the meaty one like the goat or rabbit. The steak (bife de chorizo, 180 pesos) was beautifully charred and actually came out to medium doneness when we asked for medium. Great place and worth a visit from the usual meat and pizza centric restaurants. read more

Wonderful place to take family to dinner. Warm interesting decor. Really excellent service despite language gap. Best Empanadas of the trip. And so far the best steak, tender, moist and perfectly cooked. I tried Locro, a hearty stew with pork and veal, on recommendation of a local. It was a very large portion and was very good, but it seemed more of a winter dish and I wish there was more flavor/spice. Another person tried the rabbit stew which was very good and more flavorful, though be warned the rabbit is served on the bone in the stew. The most expensive wine on the entire list was under $20 (at exchange rate of 38 per dollar) and we had a very nice Malbec that all enjoyed. Desserts were also good, though the bread pudding would have been better served warm. read more

Nice ambiance and good service. Food was just ok and the wine list was unremarkable. Stay away from the locro, I make one better

Great food but macho service. Food is great, I can mostly recommend humita and empanadas. However the service barely paid attention to me as a woman, they kept on serving my boyfriend first, gave him the bill, didn't pay attention when I was calling and that drove me insane. read more

Great, fast service. Delicious empanadas and an excellent selection of local wine. You can tell they are proud of their home in Salta and we enjoyed trying something new here - cabrito! read more

Such a great meal! Enjoyed the rabbit stew and the humitas tremendously. Great service and great atmosphere. A must-eat if you are in Salta. read more

Great empanada! And authentic traditional stews. Many other things but those were what we had for a lite afternoon lunch. Highly recommend.

Good service, good food. Tamales were amazing and empanadas as well. They charge 20 pesos for the service.

Wonderful Salta cuisine. At first appears a bit touristy with waiters dressed as gauchos but service is prompt and one of the best steaks I've had. read more
