The complimentary olives blew us away right from the get go. Make sure you ask for refills. They are very gracious about that. We have the braised pork shoulder, the squab and the fish main. Each dish was beautifully presented and taste marvelous. Regrets that due to their rather generous portions, we were too full to ordered desserts. The staffs were super friendly and pleasant. This is a must go place if you are in the area. The restaurant is a restored old barn with many of the Middle Ages rafters still visible on the ceiling. Very charming indeed.

If you are walking the Camino de Santiago this nice bar is right across the Alberge in Leon and offers a fresh taste of Spanish cuisine!

My husband and I recently took a honeymoon trip to Spain and spent a night in Rueda. We love…read moreverdejo wines and wanted to see where they came from. This particular bodega has a small (four room) hotel in it and we stayed there for the night while exploring the city. On the night in question, we were the only people staying at the hotel so they gave us a key to our room as well as to the door (it is not staffed at night) and we basically had free reign. Our room was very comfortable. Our full size bed was actually two twin beds pushed together, but that wasn't a big deal. The bathroom was stocked with soft, full size towels and had a rather technologically advanced shower. We also had access to the upstairs lounge with lots of comfortable couches, a large TV, and a full kitchen. The fridge was stocked with water and food and there was a separate wine fridge with all the Felix Sanz wine we could drink (which was one and a half bottles). The next morning, a lady came by to cook us a large, delicious breakfast before we departed for San Sebastian. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to tour the winery. I think it would have been pretty awesome. If you're interested in verdejo wine and looking to stay in the city of Rueda, this is probably your best bet (super luxurious for 70 euros a night!)

One Star I had an…read moreawful experience at this place. First, my wine was bad--no big deal, but when I mentioned it to the woman at the bar, she rudely responded, "I think not." I politely encouraged her to try it, and she slammed my wine down and turned her back on me. Unbelievable! When the food finally arrived, it was cold and just plain horrible. To top it off, the waiter brought a new glass of wine and sarcastically said, "This was opened 17 minutes ago, will that be okay?" I was amazed at the complete lack of service and professionalism. Avoid this place if you can!

If you want mediocre food served by self entitled wait staff who act like they are doing you a world class favor by deigning to take your order, then you will be right at home at La Trastienda. You will wait 30 minutes or more for your meal but don't complain or that will become 45 minutes or more. If I could give this place zero stars, that would be a more accurate description of its true level.

My husband and I had samples of many tasty tapas: Aracinis (black & risotto ball fritters) in a savory sauce, verduras en tempura (tempura veggis), ceviche (lime cured fish dish), gyoza lechazo (pork stuff Asian raps), ravioli de carrillera (twist on Italian ravioli), tostitaco al pastor. The restaurant is worth the visit, everyone who works in the location are friendly and accommodating. Chef Hector takes pride in his dishes, making each and everyone of them tasty, edible, aesthetic art pieces. The prices are reasonable too. The entrance does not look like much, but the fun and the environment is eclectic and fun.
