I called to book and I recommend people to do it on weekdays and definitely for the weekend that is their most popular time. Paying one hour is US$12 (2023) and then you can choose what to drink and eat as you play. It’s a place where drinking beer is expected so don’t bring kids. We ate a picada (US$6) that is a dish with assorted meat, assorted potatoes, yuca, plantain, chorizo and morcilla. No options for vegetarians or vegans except for the potatoes, baked plantain and yuca, but I believe you can bring food from outside if you’re a vegetarian. Ask in advance. Anyone can play the game and the idea is to score 21 points by throwing the steel disc (puck). Try like in bowling which puck suits you better. The heavy ones are a good idea as you have more chances to hit the center of a board filled with wet clay where someone has placed four triangular paper pouches filled with gunpowder called mechas. The idea is to throw the puck trying to land at the center or in a way that hits the triangular mecha and lands in the center because you get 9 points. Anyway a person will explain the rules of the game. In the end it’s about spending quality time with people and talking and listening to music. Tejo or turmequé was invented more than 500 years ago. It’s like when you play skeeball, or cornhole or horseshoes. At these places they also have other games called RANA (frog) or BOLI RANA. Ask for them and they’ll explain you how to play. They’re quite popular and groups play and bet money so they winner doesn’t have to pay the bill.
