First time to Ayawaska, Nice hilltop location, lots of parking, when coming for first time a little awkward to find the right turn up the hill.Saturday lunch, I ordered one of their specialty drink called “Rio” very good!My son and I shared Empenada appetizer good, 3 pieces Empenadas filled with chicken.For our main course my son had Lomo Saltado Classico & I had Marisco con Arroz.Our entrees were good, not great, the seafood with rice was cooked together which made the seafood sticky with rice, my son dish was good. All in all good, service was acceptable, my Rio drink was what I enjoyed the most, prices in tunes with all the other restaurants that have raised their prices by 20% over the last two years.
