4.8 / 5.0(2,674 reviews)

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we tried was wonderful. The service was very kind and attentive, especially from the hermanos who took care of us. The wine selection was excellent, and the whole atmosphere was warm and pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant! Delicious food in a super nice setting, but the cherry on top was the great team : Alex, Manu and our own compatriot from Nepal, Bishwas . Thank you for an amazing lunch . Recommended dishes : * Guacamole * Green Prawn Tempura * Pasta of the day * Tomato Tartare * Pork ribs Everything was delicious! The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The Rioja wine was some of the best we've had. We had the arancini with cheese, the zucchini flowers with goat cheese, the mussels, and the pesto pasta. All were outstanding. And the chocolate tartleta with meringue was incredible. Love the eco-friendly aspect and free water.

El Social made us feel like we were at home. The reception was warm and sincere, and the food was delicious. We had a leisurely lunch where we loved the cauliflower puree with the white fish, the croquetas, and the courgette (zuchinni) flowers. Also, the owner makes the desserts by hand herself-so good! I don’t know how we fit it after enjoying so much food, but the pudding with mango was incredible and I don’t even like mango, as was the chocolate tart with toasted meringue-like some kind of magic marshmallow. Such a hidden gem.
