“ Buena comida y servicio. Desde luego lo recomiendo. Precio genial. ”
“ Comida: platos con cantidades generosas y buen sabor. Pedimos caracoles y navajas y ambos estaban muy buenos. Las bravas no nos gustaron mucho, porque la salsa era más bien salsa rosa, pero también tenían buena cantidad. Los segundos estaban muy bien hechos, a la parrilla y sabrosos. En el caso del secreto, nos dijeron que como era pequeño, nos habían puesto también un trozo de lagarto para que lo probásemos. Nos gustaron ambos, pero era tanta cantidad que nos sobró. El chuletón nos pusieron 2 porque eran pequeños y acompañados de verduras y patatas. Servicio: hay una chica para todas las mesas y va a la carrera, pero nos atendió muy eficientemente. Nos explicó que tenían dos menús y lo que incluía cada uno, así que muy bien. Precio: elegimos el menú de 3 entrantes para compartir, 2 segundos, postre y bebida por 20€/persona. Está muy bien de precio, teniendo en cuenta lo que pedimos y lo bueno que estaba. Conclusión: muy buen sitio para ir a comer menú, merece la pena desviarse un poco del camino para comer allí. Aunque parezca un bareto de carretera, no te dejes engañar por las apariencias, se come muy bien. ”
“ Menjar senzill però molt bo. Entrants de embotits, pa torrat amb tomàquet, molt be. La carn a la parrilla, molt ben feta. Servei molt correcte. Preu correcte. Instal·lacions, tenen anys, demanen una renovació. ”
“ Very cheap and local experience :) delicious fried calmari! ”
“ Restaurante de toda la vida en la zona, preparan unos platos combinados buenísimos, atienden muy rápido y con el restaurante lleno. Y los precios son muy buenos. Vale la pena si quieres comer muy bien. Disponen de entrada para discapacitados. ”
