“ Delicious lunch in San Antonio De Los Cobres - possibly one of the best meals we have eaten in Argentina. The food is home cooked goodness and the owners are lovely - so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the Quinoa stew and the Lamb stew with potatoes. Both delicious! They have WiFi too. Forgot to take photos of the food as it was so tasty. ”
“ For the 1st time in my life, I tried llama meat. I took a black pepper llama fillet with andean potatoes. It was tender, succulent, and cooked to its best point. Llama has that kind of long muscle fibres that I like in some beef's cuts. I started with an Andean quinoa soup, which was also delicious. Absolutely recommended. The place to go when in San Antonio de los Cobres! ”

“ Great food in a small out of the way town. The grilled mutton was the best meat I've had in Argentina! Everything else was good as well, but the llama stew was out second favorite. I hear they have a local Quinoa beer as well, though I didn't try it. ”
