"Un sitio mas que recomendable, la única pega que le podria sería que la gente tira siempre las cortazas de los cacahuetes al suelo y eso no da tan buena imagen, pero eso no es culpa del local sino de la gente que va, quitando eso, es un sitio muy bueno, con unos camareros muy atentos y amables, precios ecónomicos con unas buenas tapas. Muy recomendable"
