Casco Viejo has a new restaurant which is kick butt. If you like the idea of Manolo Caracol, in that they tell you what you’ll be eating, but you don’t like the prices, then this place is for you.

It’s located on Plaza Catedral adjacent to the Emerald Museum.

The menu usually consists of a few small starters and then an option of three main dishes: meat, fish or veggies. The décor is sort of dirty chic, the feel of a small warehouse room with a kitchen wedged on the side.

The owner, Rene is a really chill guy who tends to guests himself unless the place is packed in which he’s preoccupied. If you make it here on a weekday, try out the executive menu which’ll get you something like 3-4 courses for $6.99. For dinner, you can get 6 appetizers (or as I like to say amuse bouche) along with a main dish, specialty rice, and dessert for $16. Not too shab.


Granted, the ingredients in all the dishes are very similar which explains how they can charge so little. But in general, for a nice sit down lunch or dinner, one of the better ones in Casco Viejo for me.They have a terrific wine list for the grape lover in you.

They make good juices which are nice to enjoy under the umbrellas outside where you can watch little kids kick around soccer balls in the plaza. Really, it’s a super pleasant place, absolutely no attitude. I go in my gym shorts and they don’t care.
