Our award-winning BBQ dinner will bring back memories from home. Best of Cuenca since 2014.
This menu has a cheesy theme. The casserole is a low-carb, roasted eggplant dish layered with a not-too-heavy cheese blend and our homemade marinara. Since the weather can’t figure out what it’s doing, we’re making a stew that’s not too heavy but satisfying all the same. Potatoes are cooked in a creamy base loaded with vegetables and chicken. The sweet is a twist on a childhood favorite from the neighborhood ice cream truck.
We have another incredible week of live music at La Guarida. Remember that our colonial house has perfect acoustics. Come enjoy intimate musical experiences that you won’t forget.

Art historian, Berenice Cárdenas, will explore different churches, houses, monasteries, markets, and squares which contributed to UNESCO making Cuenca a World Heritage site.
