Description: Hopscotch Restaurant / Argentine Grill One of the most recognized titles of the writer Julio Cortázar led Marcela Parra Román and Daniel Mariscal to forge a space dedicated to meat, wine, music and art. The result: a masterfully managed charcoal grill and a menu to indulge in the fix. Since 2007, Rayuela has become a gastronomic benchmark when it comes to gaucho food prepared with quality meats, appropriate cuts and precision in terms of cooking. The contemporary style and flavors of Hopscotch cuisine have earned it praise from renowned local and foreign experts. Rated among the best restaurants in Colombia for imported meat. Rayuela Restaurant also offers some of the most prestigious New World wines, national and imported beers and Cocktails with the best price-quality ratio. Rayuela is undoubtedly a gastronomic experience that deserves to be lived in its only headquarters in El Peñón, where it has restored one of the traditional houses of the neighborhood with unique architectural.

Rayuela has a well established name and reputation as a steak house. In my opinion the best steak house in Cali. They have an excellent service, which is due to the continuous overseen of the waiters that Marcela had established. If you are looking for a good steak this is the place.

Ordered here for take out because I'm staying right upstairs at the Spiwak hotel. Ordered the Cheese stuffed ravioli and an beef empanada. Food was good and packaged nicely. Restaurant is nice and clean with many options. Staff is friendly. I might come again to try something different. IG: @sara_lv731

The food and ambiance of the restaurant was good. The service was also up to standard. What marred our lunch was that when I handed over the folder with the cash to pay the bill and a generous tip, the waitress came back stating that I had only paid half the bill. Moreover, the restaurant's CCTV would prove that this was the case. I had checked twice the number of bills that I had put in the folder and my wife had also checked. I then had to wait for the CCTV, which did show me placing a number of bills into the folder but was not clear enough to determine the denomination of the bills. The manager insisted that I had made a made a mistake because as a foreigner I was not aware of the various denominations. I have travelled a great many times to Colombia over the last 35 years and I am well aware of the various denominations. In the end, we left the restaurant having paid the full amount the first time even though the Manager insisted that we should pay what she felt was the missing amount (50%). The problem certainly marred our enjoyment of what had been a good lunch. I was made to feel that I was some sort of crook, which irritated me enormously.
The experience did teach me a lesson, which is that when handing over cash to pay a bill in any establishment, that person receiving the cash should count it in before taking it to the cashier. In Jakarta, Indonesia recently, I insisted that the waiter, much to his surprise, should count the cash.(I do not like using credit cards because these can be cloned) . If this problem had not happened I would have happily given the restaurant a "very good" rating above.

I never miss this spot when in town visiting family. What's not to like? Great friendly service, generous portions and rest assured you can pick any item on the menu with your eyes closed and be gladly satisfied. Don't let its location ticket away inside a mall fool you, this is a serious eatery, as evidenced by the numerous pictures of famous musicians, artists, athletes and politicians on the walls. Amazing home made appetizers (don't miss the eggplant), phenomenally fresh fish (not even their speciality) and delicious delicious tender meat expertly prepared by chef/owner Marcela. Pick any cut, let her know your preference and let her work her magic to transform an already beautiful piece of meat into a bite of succulent, buttery, caramelized-to-perfection goodness. Are you still reading this? Go try it!
