We stumbled on it by accident and were so impressed that we went back again the next day. Very local feel you won't see many tourists here. Rough around the edges, but very friendly and good tapas. Not fancy but a good local Spanish experience with great prices. If you're there in the summer, try their Vino del Verano a lighter version of sangria using lemon soda and fruit along with local wine very refreshing!

Really nice and kind staff and the food was super super good and not expensive at all:

They have tables inside and out on the street corner in a relatively quiet area. Little or no English is spoken, but the food is on display at the counter. A good range of typical tapas/raciones is available and the quality is fine. The tortilla was one of the best I have had. Good value for money.

Food was a little pricey but very good, particularly the pasta dishes we ordered (prawn tagliatelle and spaghetti amatriciana).

Unfortunately, over the last couple of years I have noticed the service deteriorating and the portion size reduced, but our dinner on the 1st of January will be our last visit. I always reserve a table as, in the winter, it can be draughty at times and when I entered the restaurant I was surprised to see a couple at the table that I had personally reserved. I politely mentioned it to the manager and his reaction was unwarranted as he shouted at me TABLES! and then ranted on to say that they had been very busy all day and he had never had a break. Just then a waitress holding a tray said “Out of the way” as she pushed past. I was shocked at the managers reaction and I thought about leaving but, as it was New Years day, I might have had a problem getting a table at another restaurant nearby. The manager then said to follow him and brought us to a table beside the entrance to the toilets. That was another reason as to why I had reserved a particular table as here there was little room for people going to the toilet to get past. There are simply too many tables in the restaurant. When I arrived home I had a look at the bill. For one shared starter, two main courses, two beers, one Pacharan and a bottle of water the bill came to 89 Euros and a 10% tip had been added to the bill. I had left a 10 Euro note on the table as I always leave a tip. As for the manager, if he cannot stand the heat then he should get out of the kitchen.
