A popular spot with many locals which is always a good sign."

"Fantastic. After eating too many different things, GF and i just washed something simple, like grilled chicken and rice. This place delivered, in spades. Owner was so nice and sat us in their clean and comfortable dining room. The food was wonderful - chicken was flavorful and cooked perfectly, the entire meal was fantastic. One of my best meals in Baños."
