“ Buena relación calidad-precio. Fuimos 11 personas, de las cuales dos pidieron ensalada y revuelto y las demás pedimos raciones para compartir. Entre cuatro personas compartimos calamares, chipirones, tiras de pollo, croquetas y patatas bravas. En general todo muy bien, de cantidad y calidad, acabamos llenos (en el escorial, a veces acabamos con hambre) y pagamos 17 euros por persona (con al menos dos bebidas por personas). Por ahora, está en mi top 5 del escorial! ”
“ Llevo muchos años viniendo a este sitio,me encanta!!!!! La comida sigue siendo riquísima y en verano es un lujo la terraza. Lo único es que con las reformas ,redujeron las cantidades en los platos. Pero aún así,seguiré viniendo.. ”
“ We got lost ans stumbled on this gem! Excellent Scallops, tapas, chicken and more. Everything was great! We sat under the umbrella outside. ”
“ Muy buena comida, pero lo mejor el servicio. Amabilísimos, especialmente la propietaria. Nos pusieron una mesa de dentro en la terraza (estaba llena) para poder sentarnos fuera con nuestra mascota. Hostelería de siempre de la que ya casi no queda, de ahí su éxito. Recomiendo 100% ”
