    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

    The atmosphere is nice but the food is nothing special. The drinks are nice though so I would recommend to go here after you have eaten.

    Food was random. Limited vegetarian options, random portion sizes and needed to chase for the rest of our order.

    Really disappointing that it has high score, but the food quality just really bad. The restaurant is huge, and looking professional, but not aligned with the food they serve, Not recommended.

    Not a fan. Seems to be one of those places tourist frequent. Deep fried food. To my mind: Money is better spent elsewhere.

    Outside lunch was amazing. The fried dish with various fish is really good, same as the shrimp mango salad (both pictured). The croquetas were not that good.

    If you enjoy fish burned in tons of oil, come and don’t forget your puke bucket. The food is disgusting

    Too commercial and popular to my taste. It was good, but prefer something smaller and authentic.

    Everything is terrible. The food gets a zero, and the service gets -1000 points. There are so many bad reviews on Foursquare, how it got an 8.9 is beyond me. The algorithm must be broken. ABORT!!

    Over rated tourist trap ! The food is mediocre . They serve pre- cooked stuff thats why their famous service is too quick. To cut the long story short ; stay away .

    Horrible service! Seems they are simply seating on legacy and treating customers very badly! I’ll never go back to this place and won’t recommend it to anyone.
