“ Wasn't planning to stop to eat but our legs were tired from the Camino walk and what a great find it was! Lunch dining area is only open from 1pm but we were brought behind which had a lovely 'play-pen' style dining area. Ordered 1. Pork hamburger 2. Tortilla 3. Croquettes Star of the day was the pork patty which was perfectly charred on the grill. Tortilla was also one of the best we had so far as well. Highly recommend this as a lunch stop. ”
“ Tried their burger, octopus and beef steak. Nice pitstop and always a proponent of grass fed, flame fire beef. Waitress service is good and nice place to pack some glutamine in the system before journey ahead. ”
