4.3 / 5.0(5,167 reviews)
Stumbled upon this since it was near my hotel. To my surprise, the dishes were flavorful and interesting. The reviews all raved about the oxtail stew and garlic prawn, so that’s exactly what I ordered. Oxtail was tender and delicious. The garlic prawn was bursting with flavor, but it was NOT prawn. It was mini shrimps (assuming it’s frozen), which was quite disappointing. Shouldn’t advertise “prawn” if it’s small shrimps - I much rather they have 6-8 large prawns instead of a bunch of small shrimps. So would’ve given the place a 5 star, but the shrimp was misleading. Despite the misleading description, the flavor was amazing! The servers were friendly and attentive. One of the few restaurants that we’ve been to that has AC! First time I came to this restaurant was in 2021. I was by myself and looking for a place with great food and atmosphere. What I got was that and so much more. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere so authentic but the staff (especially Toni) made me feel right at home. So much so that every time I come to Spain, this place is a MUST in coming back to! You will not be disappointed!! 😀 Very traditional and nice Spanish place in el Centro! Great choice if you want something very traditional (tortilla, gambas, embutidos), local drinks were excellent! Very social and viby atmosphere

Decent but not excited about it. The chipirones were so dry and you were basically eating just the crumbs. The fries were, again, decent. I mean what can you say about frozen fries. They'll always do it. It was ok.
