Good concept, poorly executed. The barbecue is indoors and there is no ventilation in this restaurant so it fills with heavy smoke every time a dish is prepared. Our eyes were burning and we couldn 't breathe but the server would not allow us to open the door telling us someone else complained about the draft. It ruined the experience. Other than that, we were disappointed that they out of (all) white wine and there was no toilet paper in the WC, and when I asked, they just didn 't have any at all so I had to use kitchen roll. Food was overall good. We especially liked the empanadas, quesadillas and the desserts (pain perdu) which were delicious. Our least favorite things we ate were the cheese flambé that was overly burnt and gave us only three small spoonfuls of cheese for something like 12 Euros and the salmon, which didn 't taste fresh to me and was overpowered by the passionfruit garnish. The waiter was verbally aggressive with my friend when she thought he had overcharged us and told her that if she didn 't understand the words on the bill, it was her problem. They also list items on the bill as solids and liquids which makes it difficult to know what you are being charged. Although I think the Chef and concept are good, the poor execution and unfriendly waiter turned me off to this place.
The setting is pleasant and the staff also, in a large neighborhood. We had a good night. However, given the prices that we expected from developed tapas with worked flavors. It was pretty good but too simple. quality prices of bad value.
