The restaurant was full of Spanish people, which is always a good sign. Although we do not speak Spanish the waiting staff made us feel welcome, and were patient. We shared the Castilian soup which consisted of bean and some pieces of pork meat, which was delicious. Then we had the steak and ham shank in a savoury gravy, both accompanied with baked, sliced potatoes. There were also various sizes of suckling pig and lamb to choose on the menu, which seemed to be a specialty. All looked well cooked. We finished with the rice pudding with a cinnamon sugar on top and the cheesecake, both excellent. The wine was very reasonably priced. The restaurant was very clean. We would go back in an instant.

We asked for the roasted lamb and it was delicious and we were left wanting for more. If you are a meat lover you must visit this place.

The reason for going was the 'cordero lechal ' baby lamb which was excellent; perfectly cooked, unadulterated and oh so sweet.Just a few roast potatoes as an accompaniment. The real find of the evening, however, was the starter of 'morteruelo, ' which is a kind of shredded meat with breadsticks. Turns out to be a speciality of Cuenca and is absolutely delicious. Nice wines at reasonable prices. My only slight complaint is that the red wine was too warm for my liking, but that 's a matter of personal taste. all in all, a great dinner at very reasonable prices! Recommended!!
