Very pricy but with excellent service and food. Great atmosphere if you get a seat at the patio. Front bar well stocked. Again: pricy (example: 1 Liter hand made lemonade for 10 us dollars + service)

Excellent place for comfort food, awesome Milanesas and great Bondiola with Boniato! My wife ordered also the Catch of the day( Corvina Negra) Back Cod and it was exceptional ! I would recommend this place over many fashion restaurants with no character. I'll be back!

An amazing experience! I wish I had more space to fit all the delicious food. Thank you parts unknown and Anthony Bourdain for the suggestion.

Meal, atmosphere, service ok. We were there many many times, yesterday probably the last one. The danger lies in the way out, since 100% of the customers arrive by car and park them on the street, there is no private parking or whatsoever, a lonely dark street facing a bad illuminated plaza. A couple of very intimidating and aggressive tippers are fully alert as you leave the place, screaming ironically and demanding a tip, most probably half drunk or starting a drug trip through the night. It immediately transforms a peaceful dinner out into a real nightmare. I told this problem to the owners of the restaurant, the answer was “the is nothing nothing we can do about it”. Do not go to La Cantina del Vigía unless you believe you can deal with it. I left the car around the corner last night, to no avail, these junks followed me demanding my attention ina very loud voice. No place is worth this nightmare

Fresh and delicious food cooked on a wood burning oven ! Tasty and original dishes. Chairs: a bit uncomfortable.
