“ Outstanding Vegetable Paella! Top class! Also everything was perfect, great A/C, and very good service with the Ecuadorian waiter (can't remember his name). Very nice simple local place for a traditional meal. ”
“ The food is OK. Nothing great. I have tried other "lunch menus" in Barcelona for less than €16 (what it costed here) and it was way better. It looks to me as if they trying to gain as much as possible by spending the less possible. They are in a touristy spot. For the "lunch menu" they are offering a very BASIC variety of dishes. I was expecting more protein, french fries, croquetas, mondongo. The dessert options were really poor and cheap (arroz con leche and/or fruit, c'mon). I don't know, maybe if you order "a la carte" is better (but of course more pricy). I came here looking for a good deal in the "lunch menu" and I left unsatisfied. There are other places WAY BETTER and cheaper. It always disappoints me when restaurants in the touristy areas become lazy because the traffic of customers is so high that no one cares. It happens in every big city of the world. ”
“ Nice Spanish style small restaurant with very friendly staff and very tasty food. I had patatas bravas ( great spicy sauce) and the seafood paella. Normally the only serve this for 2P but as I was alone they made it for me with a big smile and without any problem. Prices are just a friendly as the staff - Go here! ”
“ I ordered a single seafood paella for takeaway and was told it would take 20-30 minutes. After a walk around i came back to be greeted with the biggest smile from the boss and the most delicious and fresh seafood paella ever. They prepared it in a metal plate and let me snap a photo before they boxed jt up. It was amazing and I wish I could eat this every chance I get. This is honestly the best seafood dish I've had. A whole crawfish, and so many shrimps, muscles, scallops and fresh tender calamari throughout. Sensational and delicious. ”
“ Service was great alters very friendly and bent over backwards to make you comfy and get what you need the best food we ate was the Great gambas Pilpil and padrón peppers and anchovies very tasty cheese overall great little local restaurant I would def revisit on my next trip back here ”
