Lugar pequeño y acogedor. Servicio excelente y el camarero que también es el dueño es muy amable y simpático. Tiene una terraza con 4 mesas para poder echar un cigarrillo mientras degustas una caña acompañada de cualquiera de sus apetitosas raciones. Sin duda repetiré.

De vez en cuando me gusta ir a algún sitio para tomar una tortilla de patatas con café con leche. Lo primero que noté aquí fue el trato agradable del camarero. Servicio rápido y eficiente. Un ambiente de barrio tranquilo. La tortilla no diría que fue una maravilla pero el café bien.

Amazing food, great prices and incredible service. A Tortilla Española and a coffee make for the perfect brunch. They have vegan milk options too!
