This family-run San Antonio institution serves traditional vallecaucana food, with portions large enough to get you through a siege, and excellent (though pricey) fresh juices. Much of the food is fried and underwhelming, but the moreish empanadas really shine. The real reason to come here is for the amazing view from the rooftop – a great place for a drink.
