Asador Maite

My wife, brother-in-law and myself ventured back to the Asador Maite and were not disappointed. We booked in advance for Alubias con sacrementos. They were excellent. The service was very good too considering a largish group of tourists had arrived about 10 minutes before us. We'll definitely be back...

Although the food was pretty good, the service was abominable. Nice, busy atmosphere with happy people. Our server (the owner? was grumpy. He WOULDN'T let us select the two first courses we wanted. Had to replace one. We got an ensalada mixta which was fine, and sauteed mushrooms with jamon on top. although we specifically asked without jamon. when we asked them to replace the plate, server just showed us, with a brushing movement of his hand, how we should brush aside the jamon. when we refused, the dish was taken away and we received a (hoepfully new and tasty dish without jamon. Main courses were largely good. Ox tail was fat and heavy, as one might expect, but delicious. Duck maigret was very good and so was the chicken breast. But one of us had fish with pilpil sauce that was bland. when she asked for some black pepper the server REFUSED! that's how you eat it, he insisted. after a while, as she couldn't eat the thing, we asked for more green pepers (dish came with 1 , which we did receive (with a grunt . this made the fish palatable. in sum, good food is not enough we would love to feel more welcome.

Located in the heart of La Arboleda, just off the main square, in what I was told was once the town's cinema, we had delicious local food and lots of it. The décor is traditional with lots of local artwork on the walls. To make the best of your visit, you really need to be able to speak Spanish and discuss food options with the owner. We decided to have a meal which we could share between the four of us, so had the traditional bean soup to share as a starter, served along with a huge chunk of bread and a variety of meats, cabbage and green peppers, and then two cod dishes, again to share, which were delicious, accompanied by a good red wine and water. Local food, friendly attentive staff and great value for money.

Comimos dos personas hace dos semanas y probamos su menú de alubias y estaban riquísimas , los sacramentos también. Todo perfecto y el trato amabilisimo.Vayan y prueben.

El servicio fue terrible, se olvidó de la comida y tardó una eternidad en servirla, aunque la calidad de la comida fue fantástica.
