Cenamos de tapeo y el resultado fue muy bueno. El camarero nos sirvió bien y rápido. La cocina a pesar de que estaba bastante lleno también iba rauda. Y lo principal, que es la comida, estaba muy buena. Para estar en el punto de máxima afluencia del pueblo, el precio es correcto.

I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews here, I found it to be fine. Food was very good, portions ample and service, given that it is a very busy bar, was perfectly acceptable. A compliment must be paid to Sergio, who worked a very busy terrace on his own, on a Sunday, very professional, courteous and efficient. There was a mistake made with the bill but when this was pointed out, it was dealt with very professionally.

An old traditional bar/restaurant which serves good honest food at extremely reasonable prices, especially being on the main square. A special mention for the young waiter Sergio(?) who served the full terrace of customers with efficiency and charm. We had lunch and dinner there
