Fue una muy buena experiencia, la comida estaba muy buena, sobretodo nos gustaron las croquetas de choco aunque la tortilla también estaba estupenda. La camarera muy amable, rápida y atenta, nos fuimos muy contentos con el servicio, la comida y el ambiente.

Madre mía, qué bien se come! Pidas lo que pidas, sales contenta. Varían los platos a diario y por precios ajustados. El servicio, muy amables y simpáticos. Después de un par de meses yendo regularmente, ya soy de la casa. Mis favoritos para pedir: fabada, lentejas, callos, lasaña, empanadillas los sábados, pero cualquier cosa está recién hecha y buena (croquetas, jamón asado, milanesas...) Gracias por tratarme tan bien, chicos!

Sitio magnífico para tomar un vino, cerveza o similar solo o con amigos. Pinchos estupendos y un servicio magnífico de barrio de toda la vida. Abstenerse instagramers, influencers, gilipollers y resto de fauna que pretende un trato tiktok y entorpecer el buen rollo familiar ( a todos estos les recomiendo el “rock del subnormal” de Pladur) Apertas e moito Cralem!
