  • La Cabaña has a great view of the city but truth be told is a relatively basic place. The Cabaña Restaurant Bar has a private air-conditioned room for 30 people with live music. The rooftop terrace has a seating capacity of 70. The Cabaña chicken is not bad but this has never been a favorite of mine.
