She decided to create a gastronomic center, which currently has eight businesses on the ground floor, reserving the upper floor for the operation of Mansion Matilde, a place that is managed directly by her and named after Mrs. Gladys\u2019 mother.<\/p><p>The restaurant is called El Preferido de Matilde. It is an intimate and cozy space where you can enjoy classic cuisine that will delight your palate with tasty international flavors created using the best local ingredients.
