They are not in the mood to serve costumers. Nice place but do not expect nice service. I can’t rate the food because they would not sell me the entries.

Waiters are very kind, the seafood is fresh and the arroz taste amazing. Main course is bit soso. So recommended just order the appetizer

Situated in a street with many other restaurants this place was very busy on the two nights we visited. Difficult to get a table on busy nights but the quality of the food, the massive portions and the very reasonable prices make this a highly recommended place to eat.

I liked Meson Jose on Calle San Francisco. Obviously they have lots of outdoor seating but we sat in the bar, which is a long room and feels very much like a local pub. We enjoyed good service and very good beer; and they also provided some nice complementary tapas. Frequented by ordinary local guys, this is a top bar.

We were seated immediately, the food was delicious and the service from Bohdan was excellent. Bohdan spoke no English but with our limited Spanish we were able to communicate with him and it was an added bonus that the menu was also in English. We stayed in Cuenca for two nights and ate here twice. It is patronised by locals which is always a good sign. As a side dish we had a pig's ear, just for the experience of having a local dish tasty but fatty. The starter tuna salad was sufficient for a main course and the solomillo de cerdo was a melt in the mouth delight. The second night we had fish which was equally as delicious. Highly recommended restaurant.

They have menu of the day with 9.90e for 2 dishes and desert. We eat also calamars and squid... very good squid. Tapas was very salty... too salty... we didn.t like it

We were looking for a different restaurant but at the time they were not serving food. So we went next door, a competitor. Super great. The waiters was attentive and responsive. The food, was delicious and plentiful. Glad we stopped here.

Going from tapas is enjoying and it's like following a ritual. if you visit the basin you should not miss a place that is considered to be one of the mandatory stops in the carpet culture. the month of confidence. It is very central, in fact in the basin is all stoned, so walking comes everywhere. like I told you they offer very good tapas and a great variety. I recommend the ribs, very well!. Furthermore, on this street, the street San francisco houses several bars, restaurants and tables that make us the culinary delights. is a very good area for the day and for the march to have a drink at night. if one thing you have in a basin apart from being a beautiful city where there are tapas bars. here I leave you a selection of which I recommend you enjoy!. the last street of the last street of the last street of the city of San Francisco, the most important of the city of San Francisco, the most important of the city of San Francisco. One of the theories is that the king of the alphony x ordered that the wine should not be served, but was accompanied by some food, so that the vinito should be avoided to the head. roaring is a rite and is part of our culture. to enjoy it!

The attention of the waiter was 10 and the delicious and homemade food

Very good place to eat, the lomo orza alpargatas as well as the great beacon, also the very rich bravas potatoes and alioli, the bartender a crack, very nice and correct tea explains and advises very well what to order. I recommend it

Bravas are tomatoes. Ear iron very well

The place is amazing. already only with the beers put the wizard on top with tomato and the ear that appears in the picture, practically a ration anywhere else. we also ordered squids and potatoes and very well everything! price quite cheap, the food was very fast and the attention of the waiters very good. If it's true that people took a little more of the bill to bring the drink, but it's worth it.
