"Lo que más me gusta del parador de rancho Alegre son sus pandequesos. Cada vez que paso por allí es lo primero que me aseguro. Sobre la comida siempre había escuchado que era muy deliciosa y hoy lo pude comprobar, y los precios muy variados todo depende de lo que quieren porque tiene buena variedad en su menú."

"Delicioso!!! Una palabra que abarca todo en este lugar, desde su planificación, hasta los menús y la parrilla, su chicharrón ahumado es delicioso, su chocolate hecho en fogón de leña es genial, su ambiente, la ubicación es genial con un muy buen parqueadero, para el frío del sector su deliciosa agua de panela con quesito... Es un sitio muy agradable con una gran variedad de platos y dulceria tradicional de la región y recuerdos para llevar."

"fFuimos con otra pareja; mi esposo y yo pedimos una picada para dos por 75.000 COP. Traía carne, pollo, chicharrón, papa criolla, ensalada y papas a la francesa; todo estaba delicioso. El chorizo y la rellena estaban buenos, aunque tenían un sabor que no nos terminó de convencer; de igual forma, nos lo comimos todo y quedamos muy satisfechos (era tanta comida que por poco no terminamos). En cambio, la otra pareja pidió la bandeja paisa por el mismo precio; aunque la presentación era en un plato muy grande, la cantidad no compensaba el costo y ellos no quedaron conformes. Sin duda volvería por la picada, esperando que la próxima vez la morcilla y el chorizo tengan un sabor más tradicional."
