    Adobo was great! Mixed fried fish is too much for 2 people. We also liked the "smoked" ligeritos

    Nice location and tasty food. Loved the chicken. Very greasy due to olive oil though.

    Been telling my friends about this place how great it is, but I must admit I’m so disappointed. We waited for 30m got seated in a room without air condition or music at the same time with 24 people.

    The food was delicious, really busy and touristy. Take the fishplate for two!

    Service is fast. The Russian Salad is very good. But it can be hard to get a table and it is expensive.

    Wine is great and so is the atmosphere! Rations are small so don't go with an appetite!

    As previously mentioned it is a place which is popular among tourists, overpriced, especially the meals. Maybe it is good for a glass pf wine but avoid eating unless you are with unlimited budget

    Very touristic, but delicious food and very quick service. Decoration is very authentic. I tried paella (just Lunch time they have) and the cheesecake. Paella was good, but cheesecake was amazing

    Some of the tapas was heated in microwave and not properly. It was half hot, half cold situation. Malaga salad was way too cold what killed the lovely taste. Extra beer was also added to our bill.
