One particularly notable highlight is the Cazuela de Mariscos, a heavenly mixed seafood soup that promises to tantalize your taste buds with its creamy, rich flavors.

For a quick bite, their Sandwich de Bistec Encebollado or Pollo Apanado sandwich, served with crispy French fries for just US$8, is an appealing option that does not compromise on taste. Don't overlook their delectable Chicharron Con Arepa O Papa, featuring tantalizing pork skin with a corn cake or potato for only US$3.50—simple yet deeply satisfying.

In addition to their hearty main dishes, El Recuerdo shines when it comes to their refreshing salads, such as the Ensalada de Atun and Ensalada de Pollo, which are perfect for a light yet nutritious lunch. With prices ranging from US$5 to US$6, they provide excellent value.
