La Era Carne a la Piedra

"We had a wonderful Friday afternoon lunch at La Era. We arrived shortly after they opened at noon and were seated immediately. At this time we were able to park our car on the street, but it sounds like the weekends are a different story. It’s in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Dosquebradas and is about a 15-minute drive from Pinares. There were several groups celebrating birthdays so you know it’s a popular local place. The friendly and attentive waiters made us feel completely welcome. You’ll be fine if you don’t speak Spanish. And the food! They serve excellent cuts of meat served dramatically on 400-degree volcanic stones — what more could you ask for? We will be back!"

"The food and service here are great. They serve the a variety of cuts of meat on steaming hot plates that allow you to cook the meat to your taste. Be sure to ask for a spare plate so you can avoid over cooking your meat. The Provoleta is amazing. It is a hot cheese and sausage spread with sliced bread. I also enjoyed the salad and rice but I love the cup of broth the meals also come with."

"This place delivers quality & quantity. Meat is always tasty, juicy, and tender, and the cuts follow an Argentinian/Spanish style. My favorite now is this meat prepared with wine, mushrooms, and bacon under a bed of potatoes. Just amazing, I highly recommend you try it. You can select any cut of a specific type of meat and they will cook it on a special volcano stone that delivers the right temperature. If you want to eat a good portion of meat, this is a place you can't miss. Be careful with the waiting time though, this place is usually crowded at lunchtime on weekends. Price is good for what you get."

"Very cool place to dine in LA Pradera. Steaks are high quality and everyone enjoyed cooking on the hot stone."
