There are actually two restaurants under this name (Cabrera 5099 & Cabrera 5127) because it is SO popular among tourists - and for a reason! Good meat and unique side dishes. Always packed with tourists, great ambience and waiters speak English. Long wait times, but if you go there early you are in for a surprise: every night from 7pm – 8pm they offer a “Happy Hour” menu where everything is 40% off. YES, EVERYTHING.
