Brunch

Salento


Get your gringo on at this hugely popular little diner serving big portions of American classics to homesick travelers. Take your pick from excellent burgers, wings, burritos or nachos, and top it off with one of the diner's famous peanut-butter brownies or gut-busting milkshakes. Great for refueling after a long hike.
