"Typical Spanish bar and restaurant. They care about you when going for tapas!"

"Probamos el menú del día, tiene un precio económico para lo que ya se estila en muchos sitios. Hay variedad tanto de primeros como de segundos, aunque dado el importe del menú no hay que esperar grandes elaboraciones, comida normal, en cantidad más que suficiente, con un servicio rápido y amable. La cocina tampoco tardó mucho. El comedor es pequeño y las mesas están bastante juntas por lo que a lo mejor toca esperar a que se vacíe alguna, dependiendo de la hora a la que se vaya. Relación precio/calidad/cantidad muy correcta."

"Typical Spanish bar, with an spetialization in Extremadurian food. Great place for tapas with some beer, if you want to seat with friends and have a chat. Unassuming but very effective!"

"Universal access and space for wheelchairs. It is a traditional bar with sloppy decoration. The presentation of the simple dishes. Normal staff attention. Speed ​​in serving. Quality/quantity/price very, very good and well cooked. The downside was that they didn't have the air conditioning on almost in the middle of July. Totally recommended for the portions and quantity at a very affordable price."
