My wife and I met our friends there and it was such a welcoming experience. We really loved the ambiance and that the restaurant was filled with so many locals. That's always a great sign! Recommendations: 1) For Quesos, try the goat cheese with onion chutney and walnuts. It goes great with the bread basket. 2) For Montados, try one with cream cheese and dried tomatoes and capers, and one with serrano ham and brie. So good!

The place is really small with 5-6 bar stools which my sisters and I already took two. There were customers who went away because of overcapacity. We tried the place after reading the rave reviews but thought afterwards that we could have saved ourself the trouble. Each tapas were 3-5 €. The drinks were small so be ready to order several.

Welcoming staff - husband and wife. All smiles and warmth, they were happy to make food and drink recommendations to a Valencia novice that got my evening off to a great start. I had a half-size cheese and meat platter that was freshly prepared and served quickly. A local IPA recommended was a perfect accompaniment. I had to follow up with the smoked sardine tostas- simple yet divine! The sardines were plump and juicy, subtly smoky. Unfortunately these smoky little fish are bought from a fishmonger - nothing I can take back home with me. Afterwards they were happy to suggest some off the tourist track sights to see.

Waited about 20-30 minutes, then got a table right along the sidewalk next to the entrance. Beer for me, white wine for the wife, and then some tapas to share--gambas a la plancha, pimientos de padrón, calamares fritos, & alcachofas fritas. Everything was delicious, super fresh, and the highlight was for sure the artichokes. Fried perfectly. Service was also great. Food came out fast. Wine flowed. We liked the place so much, we returned a couple days later for breakfast. Hard to beat the view and vibes here.
