"We wanted simple food to fill us up. Goal achieved. The staff dealt really well and patiently with our limited Spanish. The price is more than I would normally want to pay, but the staff are working on a May Day and I hope they get extra remuneration. We got 2 roast chicken, chips and salad, and a beer for 37 euros. It seems to be a national culture for restaurant toilets' to be very basic, and these were no exception, but they were functioning, which is better than some."

"We stopped here for lunch on the sidewalk. Well cooked and delicious pizza. Good price for a wine and beer too."

"We stopped impulsively on our way to the beach without checking first reviews. So i was a bit concerned after reading negative reviews. We stayed on the terrasse for a drink and then we ordered some food: fries and nachos. Nachos were actually quite good with guacamole prepared from scratch using fresh avocados and with bolognaise sauce. Prices were fair as well. Service was good. Waiter spoke Spanish, english and french. Delivery was super fast, done by a ‘delivery’ waiter only few minutes after order was entered on their portable devices. All in all a lot better than anticipated."

"Great restaurant! The owner was super friendly and attentive, even though she was super busy because no one was working because of the strike. The tex-mex sandwich and paella were amazing. The price and location were also amazing."
