Cheap and cheery place for locals.
*warning: don't attempt to come here if you don't speak/can't read Spanish. No English is spoken here at all, and it's really basic here.
We came here cos we got tired of tourist pizza and tapas crap. My Spanish can get me a meal (given I grew up in NYC and learned Spanish since I was 6 years old) so why not.
They have the cheap and cheery no frills menu for 9.90 EUR. There's no paper card menu. You gotta understand Spanish and know how to read this menu on the blackboard that seems to change based on the day (perhaps). Then you order with the waiter. Cool service, they proceed our order in a good time even when they were busy. Very friendly. For the starter, we got the soup, really nice. Then for the main we got the churros pescadoes (fried fish) which is basically fish with chips but unlike the British version the fried batter is less crisper and softer (like the Chinese fried fish version if you know what I'm talking about). It also comes with a bebida (drink) so we ordered a beer.
I cannot guarantee the same if you decide to go in there without any knowledge of Spanish. You may get the colder shoulder or slow service but that's cos this is really a local's restaurant, nothing in English and none of this pizza or hamburger menu for tourist.
Three stars for decent service and good local food. It isn't mind blowing so hence the 3 stars, and I wouldn't go out of my way to come here... but I'd come back here again only if I'm in this town. Cos it beats the other tourist crap I've seen. read more
