Pacumutos 'El Viejo' in Montero is generally regarded as a practical spot for traditional Bolivian grilled skewers, though experiences vary. Reviewers frequently highlight the 'arroz con queso' (rice with cheese) as a standout dish and note that a single pacumuto is a filling portion. The atmosphere is described as unpretentious and simple, with the setting being a converted house that some find charmingly local and others find run-down. However, there are notable inconsistencies mentioned in reviews, specifically regarding food temperature and meat texture, with some diners receiving cold or tough dishes. Pricing is a point of contention; while the base price is seen as fair, some guests feel that additional items are overpriced. Despite these issues, it remains a go-to for those seeking a quick and authentic taste of regional flavors.
