Pink Rambo

"The Santa María la Ribera neighborhood is home to a number of trendy spots, including “psychedelic cantina” Pink Rambo, a lively drinking spot tucked behind a garage door. Customers gather at the bar and communal tables in a bright, concrete-walled interior patio to share dishes by chef Nicolás López and drinks by Luca Simpson-Damiano. Food items — lamb tartare, trout confit, fried chicken — are on the small side, allowing visitors to concentrate on the strong personalities of the cocktails, like the Kendall (gin, fennel, lacto-fermented cucumber, white wine) or Miriam (tequila, mezcal, radish, watermelon, sake)." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza

"Pink Rambo is controlled chaos, in the best way, so come here when you’re looking to ramp up before a night out. The space with double-high ceilings and a retractable roof has R&B music playing and people using outdoor voices. Their menu is all over the place, as if someone took their favorite dishes from around the world and put them into one spot. There are langoustine dumplings in a homey broth and empanadas de queso con cebolla caramelizada with spicy garlic salsa. The wine list is eclectic, too, with everything from an Argentine cabernet sauvignon to Alsatian Pierre Frick orange gewürztraminer. Even though portions are on the small side, the prices are pretty fair, and service is attentive. " - guillaume guevara
