Conocí este lugar en el caos que había el 19 de sept por la fiesta costumbrista del Trapiche. Después de 3 hrs no pude entrar al parque con mi familia y cuando nos devolvíamos a Stgo pasamos al Rancho y comimos unas ricas empanadas de horno y fritas....muy buenas!!! nos atendieron bien, degustación de chicha y muy bonito lugar. Llegaban familias a disfrutar del grato ambiente...100% recomendable!!!

Qué buen descubrimiento! Somos españoles y decidimos parar específicamente para probar las empanadas de este bonito lugar. Y nos encontramos con un maravilloso rancho donde probamos varias empanadas y un mote de la tierra. Una experiencia maravillosa, muy local y llena de aroma chileno. Nos encantó.

Un bonito lugar, barato y divertido para pasar el rato en familia, comer una rica enpanada de queso o pino y tomarse un buen mote con huesillo, siendo mas barato que otros lugares, ademas, de eso hay juegos en los cuales puedes participar y ganar distinto tipos de cosas, yo participe en carrera de sacos y aunque haya perdido me dieron un trompo de regalo, quede muy contento con mi visita y volveria a visitar este lugar en un futuro.
