Parrillada La Vacanisima

North Coast & Lowlands


This amenable grill in the center of Manta’s nightlife area is a great place for a filling parillada (grilled meats for one, enough for two) and a glass of good Argentinian red wine. A recent redesign brought a name change to 'Super Cow,' but the message remains the same: no vegetarians need apply, although there are several fish dishes.
