“ The food is good but not exceptional. The best dishes were the fried calamari and the Argentinean entrecôte. We took the size Large for the entrecôte (for sharing), however I do not get the amount of potatoes that we received … as you can see there is literally 10 pieces of small potatoes, it doesn’t make sense ?? Also we waited a long time for every dish to come out. ”
“ My sons and I had a pleasant dinner tonight with 6 taps servings and a nice Rioja vine. The food is very nice and original with a twist. The vine card is impressive. The service is kind and genuine. Very recommendable restaurant - A must try. ”
“ Amazing food and wonderful experience! Especially the iberico ham and steak was excellent. Thank you for the great hospitality ”
“ The food was amazing! A tasting menu with delicate, creative, and delicious dishes — and the prices are super fair. Special thanks to Romina and Gabriel, the lovely owners who made us feel at home, and to Mechi, who took care of us all evening with a big smile. We stayed 4 days in Copanguen and came here twice. That says it all. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ Visited Sunday August 3rd. 2025 - group of 6 for dinner. We were recommended to choose 8-10 large tapas plates to share. We chose 5 fish and 5 meat and that was perfect. The food tasted like being on their other restaurant in Malaga, Spain. Amazing flavors. The wine list is interesting with many options in single glass. Prices for every valet. We will be back. ”
“ Nice accommodating crew. Brilliant tapas and good range of choices. Loads of flavour, texture et al. A bit short on the portioning. Would definitely eat here again... ”
