"This place is so good we went twice over our 4 days in Valencia! First night we had the set menu which is a mix of 5 tapas, one main to share (for 2 people), and one desert to share. There are no words for how good this food is! The hotdogs especially are incredible! The second time we got a mix of tapas, not realizing that we ordered so much food as the tapas alone (outside of the set menu) are even bigger portions. Our server was lovely and I couldn't recommend this place enough. Eat here!!"

"Absolutely amazing dinner and service! Arrived right at 20:00 when they opened and were the only diners. The waitress was so lovely, friendly and really made the experience wonderful Highly reco the truffled ensaladilla, which was the best we’ve tasted here in Valencia. The other items on the set menu was delicious as well. €18 per person for 6 shared courses (4 starters, 1 main, 1 dessert) was more than what the two of us could finish! Gracias!"

"We had the set menu for two people. It’s a generous amount of food. All starters were great, our favorite being the wings, well cooked and easy off the bone. The main course was the pork ribs with rice on the side. Also well cooked and nicely presented. The waiter was very kind which just made the experience a lot more pleasant."
