"This is a great little diner. The food quality is excellent. I had a burger, which was really tasty. It was a good place to stop for food while in town and was also good value for money especially considering its on the main tourist road.
Would certainly recommend here if you want a quick bite to eat."

Dining in Ushuaia
Lomitos Martinica is nothing to look at, garish yellow and red sign above a non descript building, no décor, 12 stools at a white Formica counter directly in front of the grill and four tables in a side hall. One highly respected guide book called it a dive, yet gave it high praise, and so will I. But when I use the word dive I think of a greasy-spoon with uninterested staff and boring food badly prepared.
