Last year the survey order was Autentica, Por Que No & Nuestra Cocina. This year things swapped around, with a new restaurant in the mix. Though the category received 1096 votes, the lower-ranked restaurants individually received more votes.

I also was surprised by the absolute landslide for one shop, which received 55% of the vote. Here are the results for the best place to buy cheese: Out of 606 votes:1.
