Description

A staple for many foreigners living in Cuenca, as well as a local crowd, this restaurant offers comfort food you can’t easily find elsewhere: from Pad Thai to Jamaican jerk chicken to comida tipica, as well as a long drink list. Located in a renovated colonial house and owned by an American woman, the restaurant fills two floors, with a full bar on the lower level and a dance floor in the covered patio. The back wall is filled with caricatures of all of the regulars that frequent the café. At night the place fills up and there is often live salsa music, so be sure to bring your dancing shoes.

Prices

Food and drinks range from $1.50 - $5. On some nights, when there is live music, there is a cover of $3 after 9pm. Wednesday night is Ladies Night.

Great food

Rating: 75%

I liked the food, I had an Asian Fusion type dish which was delicious. The ambience was pleasant. There are tables on the ground floor, where there is also the bar area and a bit of a dance area which can get busy later. Great margaritas too!

Best in town

Best place to meet other travellers. Cosy fireplace if the night is cold. Best bar selection in the city, if not the whole of South America. I went there 4 times and had over 25 different dishes at great prices. I would love a job there!!!

Great atmosphere and good food. Salsa dancing with a live band on the weekends. It can be a little "gringo-heavy".
