Hermanos Pineda - Santiago

Neat, nice place with some gifts to buy inside. Partial view of the mountains. Food limited choice, but tasty

Warm people, good basic food at a fair price, and a great spot to interact with locals and watch birds. Saw two toucans during lunch.

I’m giving an extra star because of the pandemic. From the moment we arrived it felt like we weren’t wanted there. We would have left but it was raining. The fried fish was incredibly dry and our second plate never arrived, but we couldn’t ask about it since we were never checked on again. 2 dogs sat under our table and begged for food the entire time.

Considering this restaurant is in a rural area, I’ll give them 5 stars. Pizza for 2 (8 slices, pepperoni) cost $7 dollars, a small ‘picada’ with a corn tortilla, yucas, one hojaldra, green salad, a piece of chicken and pork cost $6. We also ordered the meal of the day (rice, beans, chicken, green salad) and the portions were good. We were 2 adults and 3 children and we spent around $20.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. There was such a friendly feeling to the place and the food was all really good. I went there for lunch and dinner and was impressed both times. The kitchen staff and the waiters were all lovely. My favourite spot for a casual meal in Santa Fe.
