Este paradero mirador que ha crecido en sus últimos 5 años es sin lugar a duda mi favorito en Nerida, venden unos deliciosos chorizos acompañados de arepa frita y sus arepas con queso son de las cosas más deliciosas que puedes encontrar, aunque venden costilla y carne son los 2 primeros mis recomendaciones.

Los chorizos deliciosos y ni que decir de las costillas a la BBQ. Muy rico lo poco q venden y es económico se les recomienda

Deliciosa comida típica de Caldas, estructura artesanal y agradable

Comida muy deliciosa, amplio dos pisos, con una vista espectacular de las montañas!!!!

La comida está rica, el lugar es agradable y tiene una vista muy bonita, cuando fui el segundo piso no estaba habilitado, solo falta mejorar un poco el servicio, son pet friendly, son amables y espero poder regresar. Además cerca hay un puesto de dulces, probé los corchos y se me hicieron muy ricos. Espero que pronto habiliten la parte superior.

Delicioso un lugar muy agradable para departir en familia o con amigos, solo por mejorar; que el cafe en nuestra region es fundamental. De resto todo muh bien

Excelente comida en especial deliciosos chorizos, plátano asado y picadas de carne
