What a great find tucked away in the back alleys of Badajoz. The restaurant interior is very…read morepleasant, whimsical with a bit of a tropical or even Cuban flare. The service was fantastic, friendly, fast, and attentive. The menu is not overwhelming. One page, starters, raw, meat, and rice dishes. The prices are great, a value in my opinion. I had a taco to start. It was sublime. It was crafted with the freshest ingredients, the meat melted in my mouth, and there was even a bit a heat to it. It was a pleasant spicy and rare for me in Spain. The pork and mushrooms were tender and flavorful. This was a comfort dish anyone could enjoy. Those two dishes with two glasses of wine was enough to fill me up. This was a great experience and I am so happy I found it (accidentally).

We had tanga grelhada (Grilled pork cheeks, not to be confused with pork butt cheeks), grilled black pork loin, panados de frango com arroz (breaded chicken with rice) as well as a fish and rice stew. The food was delicious. The owner of the restaurant was chef and server. She did everything. The service was individualized and personal. She made us feel as if we were guests in her home. The restaurant is small and cozy. You are surrounded by large jars that were used to store wine. Our wine was local and very good. We recommend highly this restaurant.

This restaurant is along the main street in front of the castle, near the main square. The street…read moreis lined with orange trees, and looking up at the castle under the blue sky makes for a very picturesque view. At first I thought a restaurant at such prime location must be touristy, but it's in fact a local favorite that has been around since 1950. We were the only tourists in the dining room! And the locals, from the waitstaff to fellow diners, are all more than happy to share their culture and help explain the menu. Their menu is really extensive, and there is even a vegetarian section too, a rarity in Portugal. We enjoyed a very delicious melon w prosciutto: the sweet fruit is a perfect complement to the savory ham, followed by carré de borrego, rack of lamb, that was perfectly done, tender inside and crispy outside, alone with some delightful sides. For dessert we follow our next door's neighbor advice and got the tiborna, a local specialty, a small gem of a cake wrapped in paper dollie and tied with a ribbon. A wonderful experience through and through.

Well worth the drive out of town to this "community center."

We tried coming back for dinner, waiting a bit for its door to open. The owner told us they were quite full, but managed to squeeze us in at a small table near the restroom. The owner is really nice, checking on us throughout the meal, apologizing for not giving us better seats, while we were thankful enough to have a table! After all, this place is the #1 restaurant in Estremoz on other review sites with solid 5 stars, they can totally act snobby with two tourists who weren't even ordering fancy dishes, but the owner was still super friendly like we were old regulars. As expected, the food was delicious. Having read other reviews, we knew the portions are huge, so we ordered the half portions, which still came out more than what we could finish. The secretos pork fillet was so delicious, and the seafood rice was loaded with ingredients too. We so wish our stay in Estremoz was longer so we could be back for more.
