This place seems to be a Cafayate favorite. The walls are covered in signatures from guests and…read morenotes about how wonderful their meals were. It was casual and cozy. The menu is limited: empanadas, humitas and tamales. However, they offer a dozen different types of empanadas. Intriguing concoctions like "Greek" and "Pumpkin" empanadas were listed alongside traditional favorites. My boyfriend decided we needed to try all of them! I ordered a humita just to mix it up, and I was not disappointed. I especially appreciated the clumps of fresh goat cheese hiding in the corn meal. The empanadas are solid. I didn't particularly care for some of the more exotic ones, but my boyfriend said that the Salteño was "the best he's ever eaten". Side note: He did have some major gas for the rest of the evening. Not necessarily a deterrent for him, but I made sure we stayed away for the next few days!

Recommended by our hotel and Lonely Planet, the food is good, but the service is not. We had a…read morelocro, tortilla española, and a milanesa ternera (Argentine stew, Spanish omelette and thin breaded veal steak). All were delicious. We arrived early for lunch, so there was only one table of two already seated before us.The woman who seated us seemed uninterested, leisurely walking back and forth in the back for a couple minutes after she saw us standing at the door. Our server was a bit better, with just the minimal amount of attentiveness for us to be fed. Overall, come for the food, not the service.

This place is called now Don Francesco…read more We came here with my family (local from Tucuman). It has nice music, and the food is fine, but the service is horrendous. It took forever to get everything. We were 8 and ordered all kind of different stuff, from regional, to milanesas to pasta. The food took a very long time to arrive, and we had to call the waiter multiple times to get our drinks. If they can figure out this issue, it might get better, but when we pointed this to the manager, she just scoffed at it... so I guess is not going to happen any time soon. Avoid, pretty sure there are better options. Btw, we could not make the wifi to work for any of us.

This friendly Restaurant located on the corner of the main Plaza of Cafayate near the old church is…read morea real gem. Unlike other establishments in the square it caters to locals as well as tourists and does not have exorbitant TOURIST prices. Great drink prices and honest pours. I ordered a vegan pizza, not on their menu and they created one as good or better than I have had in a specialty restaurant.. They have a full menu and fast WiFi. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did Also, nice outside seating with a great view.

Awesome and unique experience. The place is special in that they only take 30 people per evening…read more The owner cooks and tends to every table. They don't take reservations, have a written menu, or have a written waitlist. You feel like you are eating at a friend's house. You have to be there really early to get a spot (for us, that was 8:20pm when they open at 8:30pm). The food is phenomenal! And the atmosphere is perfect for a break from routine. We went as a couple and would 100% recommend it!
