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.

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.
