    (Translated by Google) Quality churros accompanied by a very appreciable chocolate. Come there to taste good churros, in rush hour, the wait can however be felt there, it is up to you to see what you prefer, your taste buds or your impatience. (Original) Churros de qualité accompagné d'un chocolat très appréciable. Venez y pour y déguster de bon churros, en heure de pointe, l'attente peut cependant y être ressenti, à vous de voir ce que vous privilégiez, vos papilles ou votre impatience.

    Best chicken Caesar salad I have had in my life, and I have eaten hundreds of them!

    I do not recommend this place. The waiter was very rude. As soon as you sit there and you order they give you the bill straight away

    Delicious tapas (pintxos)! The bathroom could use some cleaning, the dining area was spotless. It also has space to sit outside.

    Tried churos, chocolate and café di leche. All superb. The chocolate deserves a special recommendation: not overwhelming sweet, a souffle-like texture, it suited my taste very much. Very friendly service. Quite low prices.

    Pedimos un chocolate con churros. Los peores churros que he comido en mi vida: masa extra salada, muy duros e impregnados de aceite requemado. Los devolvemos con educación y explicando los motivos. Sacan otra ración con la misma masa (algo mejor fritos). A todo esto el chocolate se ha enfriado... ni se molestan. A la hora de servir la segunda ración, literalmente nos arroja de mala manera dos azucarillos a la mesa para que lo sirvamos nosotras. Llega la cuenta y nos han cobrado las dos raciones, la mala y la más mala devuelta. Además de lo anterior, los camareros generan un ambiente terrible, haciéndote sentir mal con sus miradas, su tono y su pésimo servicio y calidad humana. Si bien es cierto que finalmente dejaron de cobrarnos la ración de churros por las molestias, primera y última vez allí. No volvería.

    (Translated by Google) We went there for dinner because they had some free table, when the whole old quarter was full to overflowing. They offer you 6 tapas and a pitcher of beer for 15 euros. Okay, but the tapas weren’t worth much: they’d been made for too long. (Original) Hi vam anar per sopar perquè tenien alguna taula lliure, quan tot el barri antic estava ple a vessar. Et proposen fer 6 tapes i un gerra de cervesa per 15 euros. Està bé, però les tapes no valien gran cosa: feia massa estona que estaven fetes.

    Great Value in the oldtown. Was one of the traditional bar of the city, and recently changed the ownership. Mantained the essence, with fresh innovations, its one of the musts in the city. Currently winner of the best pintxo award of the oldtown.

    Perfect textured churros, just the right amount of crunchy!
