Está ubicado muy cerca de la terminal de micros de Villa Unión. Fuimos para cenar. De entrada nos trajeron unas aceitunas. Pedimos una "cordillerana" que tiene morrón rojo, verde y amarillo salteado, trozos de carne, jamón, queso, lechuga, tomate, papas y dos huevos fritos. Muy abundante, comimos con mi marido ese plato y quedamos conformes. Lo acompañamos con un rico vino tinto riojano. La atención fue muy buena y los precios también. Si no buscas lujos es el lugar indicado.

In the middle of nowhere! On the way to Talampaya National Park. What a treat, we were a party of 11, everyone had a different dish, and everyone was absolutely fantastic. The chef/owner was super nice and just a great person. The wines were good and plenty of local wines. If you get the chance make it a must see

As mentioned in other posts La Rioja not really geared up for tourism.Went for dinner on Wednesday evening around 9pm. Only ones there. Seemed like the best option available from looking on TA and wandering around. Quite close to libertador hotel (again probably best of limited selection). Had stuffed chicken breast and sautéed potatoes which was fine. No ambiance, played horrific covers of the Beatles on repeat!!

After a late flight from BA went here for dinner. Portions are massive and cater for 2-3 pax. Ordered bbq kidneys which were excellent. Local Malbec was good and service friendly and acommodating given the late hour.

Good value parrilla but the steak was not the best we have had so far. Decent value and good portion sizes, we shared a Bife de Chorizo and salad. Good olive oil and bread but a bit of a walk out of town.

My friends and I were in La Rioca for boxing and were invited to eat at the restaurant.We were made very welcome (as we have been ever since we arrived in Argentina) and the service that we received was first class. We sat outside in the beautiful terrace and were served the most lovely food.I recommend this restaurant very highly to anyone that visits La Rioca!

Let's not beat about the bush: La Rioja is not a tourist wonderland. People here eat very late (after 10 pm), which can be a bit of a pain when, like us, you've got a night bus to catch. At 9.30 pm, we were the first people here, but we were very warmly welcomed by the owner, who even gave us some tips on where to go next on our trip.The food was a welcome change from Argentina's endless meat-heavy parilladas. We had the mushroom and chicken risotto and the chicken with spinach and lemon. Both were lovely. A deliciously lukewarm slice of apple cake a la mode to finish up, and we were all set for our night bus.

Arrived in Chilecito for an overnight, looked up TripAdvisor for a restaurant, and found this "restaurant"; we did not want another "grilled meats" place. We were not disappointed! The owner of the house opens it to guests: the restaurant is in the living room, with several tables, a huge fireplace, and amazing decoration all over like a treasure trove! The owner is also the cook, and the waiter, and the entertainer! We laughed, and gorged ourselves on delicious appetizers (olives, liver pate, toast), then on fabulous raviolis and a roll like a meatloaf though one like none other! And a bottle of wine then a couple of after-dinner drinks, and a cup of tea. And... everything had been homemade, including the wine, and the bread! Even the tea - the owner had collected a thistle branch, and made the tea with it. We left oh so full, and oh so happy for the amazing experience! Soooo good, and soooo fun! Go for it!
