Even though this restaurant appears in every guide and it received Anthony Bourdain among its guests, I found it overestimated. I ordered a salmon that had too much garlic and ir had a very strong taste of grease. What's more, I ordered potato as a side dish and, I got literally that: two boiled potatoes. View all feedback.
I loved this little place so much that we went twice. do not let the revealed view of the place it dissuade, definitely worth checking. I loved the salmon with a cap and a garlic.
The whole experience was great. Super great. It is a super duper hometownsish. The place is super small and super full of decor made by the people that went there. Their bread is so delicious O M G. I ordered a Pulpo al pil-pil (garlic and oil octopus) and shrimp al pil-pil. Also we had a salmon in a garlicish crost and caper. The only dish that was correctly cooked was the salmon. The octopus and shrimps were over cooked but it was delicious even though. The portions were so huge but so huge that I didn't get the chance to eat dessert lol The staff are female only and I LOVED THAT. All of them were super nice and friendly and I really liked it. It was packed and I didn't have to wait to eat but u might have to. Not 5 stars because they did not cook the things well.
Simple but good and hearty meal, tried the Chilean dish (according to Wiki of congrio ajillo with rice and since I love garlic I also loved this. One feels like at home in this tiny place, served by the mammas
Greasy spoon dive restaurant we gladly found and guiltily, immediately agreed upon because Anthony Bourdain had been there. The food is simple, fresh, and generously portioned. The wait staff are a hoot!
