What visitors say

★★★★★

“We liked everything about this place except the service. Yes, we were served and everything we ordered was brought to the table — but it’s more about how it was done. The beautiful girl who welcomed us unfortunately didn’t speak any English at all. In a tourist area, I believe staff should know at least basic English. It would make communication much easier and is quite important when working with international guests. We were approached quite rarely — mostly only when I called someone over. The rest of the time, the waitress seemed to be chatting with other guests at nearby tables who appeared to be her acquaintances. That being said, we really enjoyed the food. I would recommend booking a table in advance — even though we came for lunch, many tables were already reserved. At the end, a man who I assume was the owner came over and asked if everything was okay. As for the food and the kitchen — no complaints at all, thank you.”

“The food was absolutely delicious and actual authentic Spanish cuisine with amazing flavors. The ingredients were all visibly high quality and you could tell the chef made everything with love. Although the waitress speaks little English, she still did her very best to communicate with us and really appreciated it when we attempted to communicate in Spanish, so the language barrier really wasn’t an issue at all. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants truly delicious local cuisine.”
