Why Travelers Love El Sur

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.6 / 5.0(1,387 reviews)

Great food and great service. We had the hummus plate (was OK), the prawns with garlic (delicious), the grilled veggies with goats cheese (super delicious) and the Cuban beef (also very good!) and then a very generous cheese platter to finish. Would definitely recommend and would come back to try more of the menu! Also loved that the menu offered "half portions" of most items so you could try multiple different things! The food here is absolutely delicious! Following reviews about busy nights, we opted for lunch, which proved to be a great choice. The restaurant was quiet, and our dishes arrived quickly. The only exception was the paella, which was worth the wait since it's wonderfully made-to-order What an amazing experience! Definitely deserve 5 stars in every aspect. Ham with eggs as delicious, generous portion of ham and three eggs with crispy potato chips, sauce that came with Spanish omelet was also delicious. Service was great got recommendation for wine despite being busy at the restaurant. Bathroom is clean and beautiful.

Very nice local neighborhood restaurant, with the bonus of the kitchen open many hours of the day. Alberto took care of us and we had a great dinner with plenty of choices of tapas. A nice menu with friendly service and good wines by the glass. Great kind of place to just drop in.

Friendly star, cozy and clean place. They speak English, which was very helpful. We ordered for starters eggplant with cranberry sauce and portion was so big and mostly delicious. For main was risotto with mushrooms and ham, grilled chicken salad. Super delicious!:) 👍
