The service unfortunately can be a hit and miss . The first day we went the service was terrible. Super rude, the server- Carlos had no personality, literally tossed everything on the table- he had apparently helped my parents the night before and they raved about him but unfortunately we can't say the same. The next night we all went back (my dad loved this place and wanted us to experience what he had ) and had a new server- Angel who was phenomenal. Tapas never stopped coming, drinks always filled, he was so attentive, charismatic and just made the experience amazing.

It was a beautiful bustling Saturday morning, and yet it was so relaxing inside the restaurant. Roxenne was SO accommodating!

After a day trip to Toledo, I was super tired and decided to have my dinner nearby. Turn out everything I experienced that night surprised me, from the atmosphere, service to their food. Their croquettes are so delicately made, even the amuse bouche (invitacion aperitivo) are excellent. I told the waitress who speaks English that I was super tired , could not drink and would like to try more dishes. She suggested their Cana but on the lighter side. She also recommended cutting my portion into 1/4 or half size so that I could try more dishes. Her attentive service merited 10 stars. In addition to the chorizo croquettes, my other dishes were cuttlefish risotto and callos, both turned out to be exceeding my expectation! And the 1/2 portion were actually quite huge!!! It was my last night in Spain, and Canadio did offered me an unforgettable dinning experience. Planning to come back in the Fall, and will absolutely visit them again!

I ordered the carnes a la parilla, more precisely the entrecot de promoción trinchado. It was charred on the outside but tender and bursting with flavors with each bite that I took. That was one of the best grilled beef that I've eaten. I also felt like eating shrimp, so I ordered the Gambón al ajillo. It came in a ceramic bowl that had steaming hot shrimp and slices of garlic and peppers still cooking in the ceramic bowl. It was so hot, but perfect for a cold day. With all the food I ordered, they gave me a complimentary plate of ham and cheese. It was just the right way to end my time here. I would definitely come again to this cozy neighborhood bar/restaurant.
