"Not the most obvious of locations and not the most prepossessing of buildings but, inside, the restaurant has a pleasant, modern, light and functional feeling. One of the first things you see are the open fires where the rice or paella is cooked. The kitchen is also open to view off to one side of the eating space. We were even given a little tour of the premises, storerooms included. The service was pleasant but not at all overpowering. The menu is a set meal for 43€ with three starters, plus the house starter, a main of rice and then a pudding and coffee. There was a vegetable option on the rice but otherwise none of what we ate would have been suitable for vegetarians, None of the food was exciting in the way that some restaurants are determined to serve you kale, the mould that grows on maize or to freeze things with liquid nitrogen. In fact you could almost certainly buy all of the ingredients for all the dishes we ate from a decent local Spanish supermarket. The key thing though was that everything looked good and tasted better. The rice we chose was the traditional recipe for around here, rice with rabbit and snails. It 's amazing how varied such a simple dish can be and this was one of the very best that I 've tried with a lovely colour, just the right amount of salt and a nice taste from the broth. I 'm not drinking alcohol at the moment but one thing that my partner particularly took to was the six local wines on tap. I know that it 's sacrilegious to describe it this way but imagine the Burger King or KFC as many refills as you like soft drinks area but with good quality local wine from one of the bodegas that joint own the restaurant instead of fizzy cola. All in all one of the most pleasant eating experiences we 've had in ages. We 'll certainly be going back."

"We have gone to dinner two couples. Due to the health situation, we reserve at 20:30 with the intention of reducing the time exposed to the agglomerations. We could not get it by the rhythm of the dishes, due (clearly) to the lack of staff, which forced the nica person in the room to help in those tasks to have a decent service (special service for her that, despite this, has given us a very good service). In the strictly gastronomic, we started to dine asking for croquettes (of ham and ticket) and two sailors. the boletus croquette has a rich and powerful flavor that is packed by the dense bechamel, being this nicous point of improvement of a very good croquette. However, the ham croquette shares the problem but not the virtues of the ticket, it can be overlooked and nothing is lost. the sailor's saladilla is good and the original presentation is nothing to comment on. After this, we have tried the carrillera bats (a good appetizer, although you won't fall in love) and the atna (much better, better take advantage of the bread and with a very rich filling, don't leave without trying them). We have also wanted to try the Turkish baos but they did not have (or fried cheese with jeans jam, or sepia). the next dish was to be heard to be heard. It is not exactly bounced but rather tempura, which gives light coverage to a very good squid and which is worth trying. for putting a but, they accompany him with a creamy sauce with nutmeg and leftovers of bechamel pepper that gives him nothing, is nico to improve the dish. After this we have ordered mini-hamburgers (which are not as minis as in other places). the nico commentary we have on the nb (pollu, cheese and nuts) is that it is not worth it. As for the American, highly recommended, good mix of ingredients for a very tasty result. Finally, we have tried the cheese cake (riqusima, perhaps a little dry at some points but nothing important) and the white chocolate cake (a granny cake with very balanced white chocolate and without problems of excess sweet). special mention to green t with its corresponding label of donut. there are times that it is better not to offer a product than to offer it in any way. all this, 2 glasses of white wine, a pear, an orange fanta and a bottle of water for something less than 80 (20 per person). is not bad price even if the ups and downs in the quality of the dishes leaves you a bitter feeling. In short, a recommendable experience that needs a little more attention from the person in charge (the psalm was full, we believe that there may be a person ms) and fine garlic details in the kitchen to take a step more."
