“ Full of locals and not a tourist in sight. Great looking tapas. We decided on what to order from the menu - a starter of Pulpo Gallega and a Ensalada Vieja Castilla (smoked salmon, octopus, tuna, goats cheese, kiwi, tomatoes, lettuce ) followed by Secreto for my husband and turbot for me. Waitress advised us this was too much for two of us and to have a half portion of the starters. She was spot on. The portions were still too large. Delicious though. Only complaint was too much oil on dishes, but that’s personal preference and didn’t spoil the meals. Good And very reasonable house wine. Not cheap overall but would come back and would recommend. ”
“ Cerca del centro, un local con decoración "rústica" donde degustar comida casera de calidad y a un precio razonable. Tienen menú del día, variado y barato , y un menú especial en el que te incluyen el pulpo a la gallega (especialidad de la casa, junto con los caracoles y los callos, que lo preparan espectacular) por 33 euros, incluyendo la bebida. El local no es muy amplio pero tienen una terraza lateral bastante bien preparada, mejor para días en los que hace un tiempo agradable. Conviene reservar y se esmeran en atenderte (aunque a veces no dan abasto y toca esperar). Para repetir sin duda. ”
