De las mejores tapas del barrio, donde la clientela es fija. No se eligen, pero la comida es de muy buena calidad. El servicio siempre estupendo, personal muy agradable.

Cervezas heladas, muy buenas tapas, bien de precio. Pero ha cerrado y se han trasladado cerca de Recogidas

Desayunos con variedad de tostadas. A mediodía cerveza con buena y rica tapa. En el interior el ambiente es más bien de bar, pero en la terraza exterior se está muy a gusto. Recomendable.

Tiene soleada y tranquila y un personal simpático y eficiente. Precios normales y desayuno bueno. Recomiendo la cafetería, aunque mi pan de tostada en particular daba la sensación de que estaba congelado. Parece que tiene una amplia clientela fija.
