"Great food! English is poor, it is hard to let them understand what you want. Between the starter and main is no time. So quickly after each other. But again the food is amazing. The tuna is fantastic."

"A busy little restaurant on a side street that serves award winning tapas. Whilst most of the focus is on fish and seafood there are meat options , too. Overall, for us , a fantastically innovative offering in an informal setting. Our waiter was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and as keen to practice his English as we were to practice our Spanish. Genial!"

"Throughout our dining experience, the tables around us received their own guests for the evening. The atmosphere was brilliant and felt genuine. Surrounded by Spanish speakers, the approach to clientele was welcoming and homely. The food was brilliant. Naturally, the Tuna tartare on burrata and pistachio reduction was a plated highlight. Our attentive roster of servers were polite and inviting, making sure to lock in a positive experience with a complimentary digestif. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting this little Tuna town. - J"

"We had dinner here tonight and it was a wonderful experience. The waiters didn’t speak much English, but that honestly didn’t matter at all… they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and did their very best to help us. With their recommendations, we ended up trying a variety of fish dishes, all of which were fresh and absolutely delicious. This town is clearly proud of its nickname, “Tuna Town,” and you can really taste why. The quality of the seafood speaks for itself. To top it all off, we were even offered a complimentary drink at the end of the meal, which was a very kind gesture and made the evening feel extra special. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. We’ve also added some photos to give you a better impression!"

"Almuerzo informal en mesas altas, el local pequeño pero muy acogedor y con una puerta grande que le da mucha claridad, comimos fuera al sol que se estaba muy a gusto. La ensaladilla diferente y muy rica, con el toque crujiente de las gambas cristalinas fritas, las tostadas muy variada y combinando a la perfección con la base, diferente en cada caso. Las croquetas muy cremosas y jugosas, terminamos con un calamar frito, perfectamente ejecutado, crujiente y sin exceso de aceite. El trato profesional, cercano y muy cariñoso. Relación calidad precio perfecto."

"We just had an incredible dinner at this place, and it completely exceeded our expectations. Both the tuna and the meat dishes were absolutely spectacular—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We have two little kids, and the food was such a hit that we ended up ordering an extra serving of the meat! The service was warm and accommodating, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back—this spot is a new favorite for our family"
