This restaurant offers an incredible home-style dining experience with delicious food and warm hospitality. The service is both delicate and highly attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is clean, pleasant, and inviting, perfect for a relaxed lunch.
The portions are just right, and everything on the menu is full of flavor. The queso asado is a must-try, and even the fries are surprisingly delicious! Their mojo sauce is hands down the best I’ve tried on the island.
For drinks, the sangria pairs perfectly with the meal. And when it comes to desserts, the polvito is fantastic, but the real star is their tiramisu. As the Italian server proudly said, it’s "better than in Italy"—made with almonds, and absolutely divine!

Visited again a few days later. We had to wait 45 mins for a table, but was it worth the wait? Well, yes, this visit confirmed my thoughts, the food was fabulous, as was the service. Do not come to Punta Mujeres without visiting...
Read moreThe menu is relatively short but it has a good assortment of offerings from sea, land and earth.
In the kitchen, a one-man band, in full view while he's preparing the dishes, which is always reassuring. And the man can cook: two fresh squids, one a la plancha and one fried, were done perfectly (not a drop of excess grease in the fried one). They came with a plain accompaniment of papas and vegetables. All very light, all very basic, all very enjoyable. A concluding bienmesable was no-frills (no biscuit, no cream) but OK.
The place looks spotless, with a clean and bright modern decor. In the room, super-Tatiana, the Ukrainian waitress, is a special one...
