Amazing selection of fish and meat not something you would expect from a local venta. Our waiter showed us a large platter of the fresh fish, and clams they were the fish of the day, so we selected Anchovies and Clams as starters to go with grilled fresh vegetables. The Bocarones were some of the best we have ever had and the Clams were perfectly cooked and in a delicious sauce. The vegetables were stacks of charred, tender veggies. Everyone one but myself went on to steaks, which were all huge! I had the Venison Stew which was tender and the sauce rich and dark awesome. All these dishes came with chips/french fries, which were fabulous and probably double cooked. We drank Protos, a really good Ribera del Duero, which went so well with the meat. We shared a Chocolate Carrot Cake, and a Cinnamon Flan for desert once again way above your normal venta standard. Obvious a popular local spot as there were riders propping up the bar when went in and a baptismal party in the large dining room with much singing and clapping of hands. Just brilliant. It was so busy they had tables and chairs set up in the parking area! Highly recommended.
