Also our waitress was very nice patient while we tried to decide what to eat. I just don't think we are authentic Spanish food fans, sorry. My daughter had breaded fish, except it was breaded with what looked like it's scales still on. I ordered beef thinking it would be a steak. I'm not sure what kind of meat it was but it didn't taste anything like any steak I've ever had. Our son had something with eyes still on it, and that is just a little too much for us.

However, the se3rvice was slow. It took nearly an hour to find out that they didn't have one of the items we had ordered. The food was OK, but certainly nothing special. I probably won't go back.

Totalmente recomendable, la atencion super agradable, seguro que Si vuelvo ire otra vez. read more Totalmente recomendable, la atencion super agradable, seguro que Si vuelvo ire otra vez.

We (my pretty fussy two daughters) and I was looking for something to eat somewhere to visit the day. At first we went past the place, I was the one who dismissed him, but my elder said we should try it when it was Carnaval weekend and the center of the city was very busy. I would describe it as a gem, the prices are good, there is enough variety (Burger looked fantastic) and the staff is friendly. Perhaps the service could be a bit faster for some people, but you should not expect to order sometimes in places like this, where everything is cooked. Both my fussy daughters were well fed and the accounts with drinks came to 36 euros for the three of us.
