"The City's Best Patatas al Ajillo Bar Ciaboga is a classic spot that has been serving up perfect plates of olive oil and garlic confit potatoes for twenty years. The super kind barman will warn you that the paprika in the ceramic dispensers is spicy, but make sure to sprinkle some on your patatas. And don't neglect the infused olive oil that pools on the bottom of the plate...that's what the bread is for."
Wonderful experience and so glad we found this delightful place. It's small with simple food and friendly staff but wow, the house special pintxos are amazing. Potatoes and mushrooms have never tasted so good. Keep it simple and discover the best taste here. The bar is fascinating and the atmosphere relaxed. For a fantastic visit eskerrik asko 😁

Loved this little hole in the wall bar. It was a beautiful day in San Sebastián and the terrace was full so opted to sit at the bar.
Had the house speciality - potatoes with garlic and as much hot cayenne pepper that you would like to sprinkle on top. Garlicky and freshly made and hot from the kitchen.
Delicious.

One of my fave tortilla places in the city. Any tortilla is good here. The much hyped platillo of boiled potatoes with garlic is a disappointment. Just come for the tortilla. I am always at the bar

A real old school Spanish bar. This place is a gem in San Sebastián, away from all the tourist-oriented pintxo bares in the old town.
The service was perfect and fast. The tortillas we tried were really tasty! (I even would risk to say the best I ate in San Sebastián)
I would go back!

Small cute bar. The pintox are delicious. Beer is just Stella on draft, but the staff and food are great.

Fantastic ! Super simple menu but everything done really well. The garlic potatoes are sublime !
Terrace is a big help as the place is tiny, proper old school Donostia
Really decent value and the staff tolerated my appalling Castellano.
Highly recommended !

Classic pintxo bar, the perfect place to start a crawl in centro. Order ‘un platillo’ which is their signature plate of ‘patatas al ajillo’ or garlic potatoes fried in olive oil. Sprinkle on some hot paprika and use the bread to sop up all that garlic oil once the potatoes are gone. It’s small and likely to be packed, but work your way in there. The tortillas are great too.
