Very cheap but as long as you know what to expect it's an experience I would recommend to all. Kids said its the best meal they'd had in Spain. Kept topping up til they'd had enough. Bottled water and a can of pop each, I had a couple of beers as well as the food. About £30 for the 4 of us (kids 11 and 13). Great value for under £8 each.

On arrival you are given a unique bar codes card showing food/drinks options to be given to a server. Two options of service are available, self or waiter service in unreserved seating areas. This is not a cordon blue dining experience but features basic Spanish cuisine of tapas and raciones . Very much communal dining in a hugely friendly and somewhat hectic environment. Childrens play area, toilets and WiFi available. Open only April September from 19:00 to 24:00 longer hours on Sunday.
