Amazing service and food. Proper meat on the last stage of camiño to Santiago. It absolutely deserves the investment, specially if you started early in a very rainy day. The owner was fantastic and all the waiters as well. Everyone was very friendly. If you're needing quality protein, this is the place to come. :)

These guys are serious about their meat and you can tell. Some of the best lunch I have had while out here. The restaurant was buzzing with locals having their lunches. Highly recommended. Also very friendly English speaking staff and access to plug sockets to charge your phone. Would come again.

Amazing! Food was delicious and came out in a reasonable amount of time, the place was very clean and air conditioned, and staff were very nice. I got the mushroom steak without sauce and it was cooked perfectly. The meat was high quality and well cooked, and I also received a large portion of meat, making it well-worth the price. The side salad was delicious, as well as the fries that came with my steak. Highly recommend this place!
