Don't judge a book by it's cover. It looks like a typical tourístic Spanish place to fool "Guiris" with a lot of colors, typical dishes and a lot of bull fighting related pictures. But it's a nice Spanish-born place, very good food at a reasonable price. And I'm pure Spanish, si I know what I'm talking about. P.D: don't leave without trying "Rabo de Toro" if you are a foreigner. Enjoy

Great food and lovely small restaurant. The food seems very traditional, and so does the restaurant itself.

It’s a small, local place, recommended by a friend, and it’s worth the visit. Its not far from the tourist traps in the Centro, in a quieter neighbourhood. Great service and tasty food, reasonably priced.

The personnel was really friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is really picturesque but the food was a bit overpriced for the quality and size of the portions. It was a good experience but I don't think I would visit again for a big lunch but rather for small bites and a beer to enjoy the atmosphere.

Simple tavern with good food (a bit pricey) and very attentive and friendly service. Low seats without back rest we’re not too very comfy. Decoration is based on bullfight, with plenty of pictures of matadores of all times.
