    The empanadas and tamales were delicious! We just had appetizers that evening. The service was amazing. Great prices!

    On point! Went twice…read morelast 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.

    This is a really nice restaurant. The servers are dressed as gauchos and the interior looks like a…read morerustic 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.
