Insider Tips: Advice for Your Visit
- Fruit Juices: Don't just order a regular soda. Here, the right move is to pair your meal with a freshly made papaya, mango, or guava juice for the full experience.
- Transport and Parking: Central La Laguna is mostly pedestrianized. We recommend leaving your car in the Avenida Trinidad parking lots or taking the Tram. If you use the guagua (bus), the central station is about a ten-minute walk away.
- Avoid Peak Hours: Being in a university area, the venue fills up quickly at midday. Try to go slightly before 2:00 PM or early in the evening.
- Prepare for the Chill: Even if you are coming from the south in cholas (flip-flops), remember that La Laguna is often cooler. Always bring a light jacket for when you leave the restaurant after dinner.
