A decent enough pasta place that has been put into the old meat packing plant. I was honestly put off by my trip to the restroom - odor from pit toliet was awful! No way to clean up afterwards. Only good point, was cost of the meal and the wine. Wine was great. It is a place everyone seems to have on their list to go to. But, there is not much else to offer in town.

We had dinner here, the service was fast and very friendly! The food quality was OK even a lot seems to be pre-prepared and not house made.

We stopped for lunch at this place while driving from Colonia to Salto. It had been recommended by the attendant of a nearby toll booth, often a good datapoint. Boy was she right. This unassuming "parador" next to a gas station at the intersection of two highways provided one of my best barbecue experiences in Uruguay, and I've had lots of them. The barbecued "vacio" was probably the best vacio I've had in my life, lots of pulp and little fat interspersed fat, all cooked just right (I asked for it "jugoso" - rare but it would still be fine "a punto" i.e. medium.) The "chorizo" sausage was tasty stuff made in an artisan way, the type that comes in a long roll and they cut it, rare to find these days. The fries were home made, sloppy shape but crunchy and decadent. For desert we had strawberrys and cream, great fruit in gobs of white cream. The prices for all of that were very reasonable. The blonde woman who served was super friendly yet didn't miss a beat - we were served in record time even though the place was packed. BOTTOM LINE: If you are anywhere within 100 km of Mercedes/Fray Bentos this joint is worth a drive to satisfy the carnivorous caveman in you.
