Tasted of nothing and texture was as dry as sand. My wife ordered veggie burger. It was the worst piece of slop ever. Staff were surly and unfriendly. They did however take the meatballs x3 off the bill. Worst food I have ever been served in Spain. Do not go here there are better places in Tarifa.

We ordered simple stuff toasts and eggs with juice and a milkshake shouldn't take long. I think we waited about 20 30 minutes to get our drinks, another 15 for our food. Can only imagine what would have happened if we'd ordered a burger or something more substantial... When the food did arrive, it was entirely average. What you'd expect from a toast. The milkshake and juice were good, and they accomodated my non gluten friend. But man, are they understaffed...

The mix of Tapas is all meat and disgusting . For example a big meatball that was raw inside with a disgusting sauce. Chicken with curry and apparent fish tapas with tomatoes and octopus, unfortunately the octopus was nowhere to be seen. Stay away from this Tapas bar. Only the waiters are nice.
