Nos tomamos unas consumiciones -al mediodia- en la terraza, a la sombra de un gran árbol. Estuvimos muy agusto. Sitio tranquilo y excelente atención de la camarera, de trato muy agradable y pendiente de todo. A destacar que es de los pocos sitios que mantienen la "sana costumbre" de ponerte "tapa" con la consumición, sin que ello suponga un encarecimiento de los precios.

Un local acogedor en el que brilla la dedicación a sus clientes de Tere y Ángel casi tanto como su excelente cocina.

The best thing in this place is its costumer service. They will always give you a Tapa. It is not fancy, it is very plain, but for a drink, a nice beer and good moment, you can go by.
