Las Menestras De La Almagro — Restaurant in Mariscal Sucre

I believe it may have been the owner, if not, then a very friendly employee! He was extremely helpful and explained the menu, since we have limited Spanish. Portion sizes were huge and it was very tasty. Prices were on point. Dinner for 3, plus dessert only came to $28. They were very covid conscious and sanitized much of the time we were there.

I got guava juice and it was truly fresh real juice! So good! To add to it all, this place is super cheap! All cost me $5. I love eating...

We wanted a big lunch and boy did they deliver. This place has an old school vibe with great service and even better food.

I had the beef stew with eggs which came with salad, avocado 🥑, rice, and sweet plantains.

My partner got the pork chop with chips (thick french fries freshly cut and cooked.

I was so full before I finished but I kept eating because it was so damn good.

It's not a big place and I see they have a big take out business. Everything was freshly made and the juices...
