Had some tostas and a glass of Galician white. Always crowded, so try to be there during less busy hours to avoid disappointment and get enough attention from the bar.

I asked if we could have beers and told yes, but ignored for 5 mins even though I was the only one in and there were3of them . Then asked if I could order and he responded.
