This area with white linen table cloths seems more private with limited seating. It felt very exclusive. We ordered their traditionally prepared cuchinillo, grilled vege platter, tiramisu with toffee, coffee ice cream with amaretto jelly and the traditional layered cake with vanilla cream and ice cream, capuccino and a glass of red wine. The service was impeccably attentive. When it was time to cut the roast pig, the owner, Jose Maria appeared. We were gathered around to watch him deftly cut the pig with a plate into several servings. The cuchinillo was perfectly seasoned. The skin was thin and crispy and the flesh was moist and melt in your mouth tender. Everything we ordered was delicious! Later on, Jose Maria came to our table for a short chat and to indulge us with a few picture with him. This was a really special experience.

The lamb looked amazing too. We enjoyed our cochinillo - the skin an amazing crunch in flavorful broth and delicious fries we ordered it with.

We started with jamon croquettes which were delicious. There were six individuals ball-shaped croquettes. The cheese and ham on the inside form a light texture. We shared chicken fingers. The seasoning is unique. It came lightly crumbed, and cut into small pieces with a creamy dipping sauce. They tasted great- not overly fried. I ordered huevos rancheros. I'm accustomed to Mexican-style huevos rancheros. These, served in a small iron skillet, have a flavor of their own. The ranchero sauce is tomato based- added lightly on top of the huevos. The potatoes are more like french fries. Very good. For dessert, I had chocolate and churros which I definitely recommend.

The wait staff is friendly but made an error when forgetting to bring my husband's main course. The quality of his white bean soup made up for it. I love the antique looking entry to the restaurant.

I'm still thinking of it months later planning on my return just to eat this again. Amazing... It was a restaurant frequented by locals only, it a touristy spot so we knew it was going to be good and it did not disappoint at all.

I have stomach issues and cannot eat a full meal, so I asked if I could share a meal with my son. The waitress told us that was not allowed because "this is a restaurant and everyone has to have their own plate." We ended up ordering three meals, but unfortunately the food was just as disappointing as the service. Nearly everything was excessively salty. We ate what we could because we were hungry, but most of the food was left on the table. Given the restaurant's location so close to the castle, we expected a much better experience. Instead, we left feeling disappointed by both the service and the quality of the food. I would not return.
