"I have ordered a seafood course, and actually at first it looked well, but then I had a big disappointment. The baked fish fillet under the other parts of the food was way too slight and also not fresh. I think it was a cheap mirelite crap, looked and tasted like a cartoon paper. The octopus were also in terrible condition, tasted like some slices of a tyre. A proper Peruvian restaurant never provide such a low-profile food. Overrated and overpriced restaurant as almost of all other in Villa de Leyva.
About the comment of the restaurant: Yes, I have eaten this food because I was hungry like a wolf and did not want to waste the money I paid by leaving this bad food on the plate. This comment is only talks about the rice, and yes, the rice was actually good haha, but the fish and the octopus was totally disaster, and I think you also know what I'm talking about, but you should try to defend yourself. I appreciate it! Cheers!"

"Although the food is good, service leaves a lot to be desired. The owners attitude was super rude and conceited. He even tried to justify dirty utensils claiming that it happens in many restaurants. He also yelled at us while we started to eat after 3 hours waiting for the food we ordered.
If this guys doesn’t change his attitude and get prepared to busy times, his business will fail despite the great food it offers."
