Very small place, but super cute.. popped in for a nibble, ordered the croquetas, half order, they were wonderful. The fried mushrooms were slivers covered in batter, hard to taste anything other than cornmeal.

This was one of the best dinners of our trip!!! And the guy was super friendly and nice, and accommodating to our big group of 8 even tho it was a small place. We had the octopus, Havana beef, Iberian pork (not pictured), pink tomato + burrata, eggplant Parmesan, fried mushroom with truffle sauce, roasted veg (not pictured), jamon (not pictured), and tinto de verano. Everything was good 🥹 Only comment is that the place was a bit dark!

This place is such a hidden gem! The vibe is extremely cozy and romantic and the food is amazing. The owner does everything himself and is so friendly. We basically told him to give us what he recommended and he surely did not disappoint. Everything was fairly priced as well. Definitely worth asking what the specials of the day are. Such a nice place that I almost want to keep it a secret, but can’t help wanting to support such a talented and hardworking man! Would love to return <3

Small place, very cozy. The waiter serves you with a smile and is super friendly. The pulpo was amazing - perfectly cooked! We loved the homemade croquettas too. The veggies were good. Good portions.

Amazing food and even better service! I can't wait to come back.

Charming proprietor, friendly ambiance. Sumptuous vegetarian options. Don’t miss the cassava, unlike anything I’ve had before.
