Nuestro bar favorito del barrio. El servicio inmejorable y la comida buenísima. La ensaladilla rusa de Chelo es la mejor que he probado y el zumo de naranja de Nacho, no hay otro igual ;) Gracias por hacernos sentir que estamos en casa!

Nos han servido súper rápido y al pedir un bocadillo para compartir, nos lo han traído en dos platitos. Los detalles marcan la diferencia para los turistas. ¡Muchas gracias!

Está bien, todo correcto! Acudimos al reclamo de los michirones que sugería una pizarra con un par de cervezas con las que nos pusieron dos mini salchichas y patatas fritas. El plato de michirones igual un poco recortón. Pagamos 8,5€ por todo.
