6 Dollars including salad and drink. High quality, without oil/a lot of fat, tasty and healthy :)

If you want to try authentic Amazonian cuisine, this is the right place for you! There is mainly fresh local fish, but also Maito or sometimes specialties such as Chontacuro. The quality is excellent, the service is fast, the price is good and the boss always makes sure his guests are having a good time. We were very excited and came back every day after the first time.

Very good restaurant. Ate the fish platter for 6.50 and it was delicious. There is also a carafe of juice/tea. As a side dish there is yuka, platano (verde) and salad. It was a light meal. Would come again.

Delicious and also exotic food, such as the delicious Maito de Paco or Raya apanada or Maito with fish roe, as an appetizer they serve cocoa but roasted, delicious and the first time I've tried it that way, highly recommended and the service is excellent, the owners are attentive and have service staff
