We want at 20:45. The place was busy but didn’t need booking. The staff were so friendly. I can speak simple Spanish and we managed to order everything! We had 1litre sangria, gambas pil pil, croquetas, iberico steaks, chicken skewers, calamari and patatas bravas. Way too much for us 2 so I recommend ordering less. Great food, traditional Spanish feel and no tourists ( apart from us haha). Locals were very friendly and waiter was very patient with my Spanish! Great spot cannot praise it enough thank you so much for the amazing dinner

We are staying in an apartment across the road from this Restaurant so thought we would visit for dinner and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious, good sized portions and very reasonably priced. Pablo was very helpful and his recommendations were spot on. The staff were all welcoming and friendly, despite our very limited Spanish! We will be returning again before our holiday is over!
