Good food place at a petrol station. They speak English and are super fast and have lots of seating. It’s a busy place and a great stop on a23.

The burger was genuinely delicious, and the ruta 23 bocadia was huge and tasty. It was very loud in the indoor area but there's an outside area too.

If you're driving past, make it a point to stop either for almuerzo or lunch. Value for money, delicious food and for a bit extra you can have bbq meat. Fast service, really clean and lovely staff

Some great food at this 24 hour truck stop as well as clean toilets and a decent shop/fuel stop. We stayed the night in our camper van and had a peaceful night's sleep. It felt very safe. The only thing lacking is showers.
