Although…read morethe garlic shrimp and bread were *delicious* - as was the wine - the service was lacking and it was clear that this was a tourist trap. Although there was a sign on the door that said they took credit cards, we were told that the machine was down and it was cash only. The closest ATM was a couple blocks away. When my husband went inside to pay, he noticed that there was a handwritten sign hidden behind the cash register that mentioned it was cash only. Emphasis on the "hidden." Had we known it was cash only, we wouldn't have gone. Still, it was pleasant to sit on the patio and have a drink and a little nosh after a long day of walking. If you can find another option for food and drink, pass on this place. If you decide to try it, bring cash.

Pretty good though, and the batter was light. Lots of locals it seemed, and a very relaxed atmosphere, away from the regular tourist crowd. Service is very friendly albeit the language barrier.

Quality. This is a…read morequality establishment serving up fresh food and a relatively affordable price. I came in for the menu del día which was only 7.50. This included two courses, desert, and a coffee. I ordered a octopus salad and my fiancé ordered the tropical salad. BOTH, were delicious. They included home-made sauces that set the dishes apart. My second course was fish a la plancha with a side of fries. The fish was drizzled with olive oil, lemon, and coated with herbs. It was heaven in a dish. I was extremely satisfied. My desert was a chocolate pudding that was drizzled with a chocolate sauce and included a dollop of whipped cream. It was so rich, I almost cried/died and went to heaven. Come visit Transvaal, it is recommended! ¡Provecho!

The ambiance like most restaurants in this area is very casual with only outside seating. The seafood was super fresh, literally you go to the cooler/fridge outside the restaurant and pick the fish you like. We tried several different kinds of fish, they were grilled and served with either potatoes or salad. We also tried their fried seafood including the cazon en adobo which was delicious and the ortiguillas ('sea nettle'), which is some sort of shell creature that had an interesting texture. The shrimp tortillitas were also good. On our last night there we decided to also try something other than seafood and had the rabo de toro which was really good, with super tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.
