Aprovechando q estoy trabajando allí en este tiempo he conocido este local y la verdad es q estoy muy contenta porque los pinchos que he comido hasta ahora están muy buenos así como el café con leche que me tomo. Y para mí lo mejor es la atención porque aunque he coincidido que había mucha gente siempre me han atendido muy bien y no me importa esperar un poco por todo lo que obtengo. Gracias

Buena tortilla, aunque el desayuno por 4€ para ser la zona que es, no me parece económico

La comida muy rica y abundante, el trato muy bueno, la única pega que pongo es que los baños de señoras estaban sucios pero entiendo que parte de la culpa la tienen los clientes.
