“ Definitely go there for rhe grilled Cherne fish - it was amazing! We took 2 fish and a plate of dried plantains and a local yuca-like vegetable for 3 people and it was more than we could eat. The place is on the parallel street to the main one on the map, and you have to walk along the water canal. Definitely worthwhile. ”

“ The food is fantastic and the staff are great! It is very difficult to get to the restaurant because it is located in someone's backyard, surrounded by several houses. In terms of food safety or hygiene, it might not be the best. ”

- Pedro Alves -
