We loved this place and went back a few times. This staff was so friendly. Get the mushrooms, foie gras, and sirloin (solomillo). Try txakoli (pronounced choco-lee) traditional sparkling wine.

Gets really crowded, but the pintxos on display are superb! Super fresh salmon, delicious hams and very nice wines.

Don't just eat what's on the counter, order from the chalkboard menu on the wall. The solomillo (sirloin on baguette with a pepper) is the best pinxto you'll ever eat.
Sarah TrottSeptember 18, 2014
The best item here is easily the grilled sirloin steak pintxos. Order with abandon. The lovee enjoyed his Amontillado (sweet sherry).
Natalie MarioniOctober 22, 2017
Hands down... the solomillo Pintxos is the #1 item on the menu. For the more adventurous, try the sea urchin. Order off the menu if you can. It's always busy and for a good reason!

The Pintxo de Solomillo or Sirloin Steak bite is the item to order here!

One of the best dishes in the Basque region is the cod cheeks ( Kokotxas ). @CasaGandarias serves my favorite recipe #mustdo

Everything was exceptional. The service, the food... The special salad was magnificent on its own. The txuleta well done and the initial pintxos surprisingly different and fresh. Will be back!

Ubercrowded meal times. Sea urchin was tasty. The pintxos are creative and thought through. Not to miss!
Damian BayonaJuly 5, 2019
Definitely order the solomillo. The sea urchin is also very good. Honestly though, everything is good.
Chris TDecember 28, 2016
Delicious pintxos-some unique such duck magret with fresh peach. Many wines by glass (copa) or a sidra.
Karisa NichollsJuly 22, 2013
Tasty food & great service. High 5 to Jose, he rocked. Loved the grilled beef sirloin, grilled foie gras & Iberian cured ham croquette. Thought the duck breast brochette was over done and over priced
Sofia PapastamelosJune 13, 2017
This place has a very wide selection of pinxos. All delicious! Come during lunchtime when it's less crowded.
Jared SilverbergOctober 15, 2018
Great Steak and Artichokes! Perfect place to sit down on a Monday night when a lot of pinxtos bars are closed in the area
ElisabethJune 23, 2016
Try the risotto! Or just have their classic jamón👌🏼 warm pintxos are better than the cold ones at Gandarias!
hello_emilyJune 2, 2018
It took me 3 trips till I found their true speciality: the little pintxos with bread, Jamon and 3 mushrooms with sauce all over it. GODDAMN THATS GOOD 🍄
Phil NomMay 25, 2015
Lovely staff. Ask for them to keep tabs of your bill if you're planning to hang around. Anything grilled is amazing. Great value to boot.
King KongeeSeptember 25, 2015
The place had a great atmosphere and amazing pintxos - brochetta lomo, cordero, gambas and solomillo. Croquette jambon and foie gras were okay.
Laurie BennettJanuary 28, 2015
A sensation. Eat the solomillo here, drink the Ribera del duero, and revel in the amazingness of life.
AmateurConciergeOctober 29, 2016
Classic feeling. Yea the solomillo is good, but the iberico on a toast here was my favorite
Vincent TanOctober 14, 2015
Solomillo - sirloin - is really good. Has to be ordered at the bar.
Virginia FieldJanuary 27, 2015
Delicious pintxos - especially the solo mio, friendly staff, great atmosphere. It's one of my San Sebastian faves.
Na CarrollJune 6, 2016
Guindillas and solomillo are a must! Jaime the waiter makes everything easier. It is the best gluten free tapas bar/restaurant.
Alex CrossJuly 3, 2017
Try as much tapas and pintxos as you can! They are really good! Personal are very friendly and welcome!
Ruya BayraktarNovember 1, 2022
Tapas are very good with red vine. Goat cheese and grilled sirloin steak ones were very good
Kayleigh HarringtonJanuary 5, 2018
Get a table outside, order the solomillo (sirloin) pimiento verde (peppers)
Pete HarmerOctober 23, 2019
Quite touristy. Good selection of pintxos. Friendly staff. Duck brochettes to kill for.
Corinna PJuly 12, 2015
Tasty croquettes! And good grilled skewered pintxos. Fun chaos.
Jo MOctober 19, 2014
Solomillo pintxo. You have to order it at the bar but they will shout your name when it's ready. Worth every second of the wait.
Rupert HoughtonFebruary 18, 2016

Incredible selectio of wine by the glass. Nice pintxos and while in every tourist guide keeps up its standards.
DJ YabisNovember 29, 2018
This was my least favorite from the 8 tapas bars we visited. The food was uninspiring and so so. I don’t know why they have very high ratings actually. Go next door to Atari instead.
H KAugust 23, 2017
Awesome selection of pinxtos. Try uni (urchin), pig blood, etc
M. ScottSeptember 2, 2019
Foie gras (€2.95) and grilled beef sirloin (€2.80) are phenomenal
Nick BlackAugust 23, 2018
Excellent fresh local food, lamb chops, smoked trout.
Ben FloydMay 25, 2016
Amazing mushrooms, crab tart great too, lovely service.
OmniWired 🍹September 16, 2015
beer is really good, the place is authentic with a nice vibe. Solomillo, foie gras is not too oily
Yana TSeptember 10, 2016
Can be very crowdy in the evening, but pintxos are worth trying during the bar crawl
LillyOctober 26, 2014
Steak! Steak! Steak! Steak! And the pork. Hands down the single best steak of my life.
OliverApril 14, 2018
Classic in the old town but I was a little underwhelmed compared to the other classics
Levent AkgermanSeptember 28, 2017
Hard to get in mess to order so enjoy accordingly! Clams, salomillo, mayo crab and salmon, anchovy and jabugo.
sesimJune 30, 2016
Solomillos is epic! Also the gambas. A good place to start your pintxos tour.
Jack LynchJuly 8, 2014
Best beef steak ever! Lovely tapas (Pinxos) and an excellent drink selection. Always go here!

Muge KuyumcuogluFebruary 2, 2018
it is the only restaurant open during siestacomfortable place for family with child seat, crayons and children's menu
OsmanDecember 11, 2015
You can eat pincos as much as you can with traditional white wine. Dont forget to pay before leaves because nobody counting your bills.
John MarslandJune 4, 2016
Awesome wine selection by the glass. Solomillo was my fav, order it at the bar
Adelina OngSeptember 28, 2019
The solomillo is fantastic. Salmon pintxo with egg n pepper is tasty too.
