They have this smoked salmon dish (one of their tapas) which is just plain amazing. It's one of the…read morefoods I couldn't stop thinking about after coming back from Spain. The servers are helpful, if a bit abrupt during busy hours. I personally liked the bartender/server who joked with me to finish my almost-full beer when my boyfriend had finished his already. A nice, casual place a bit off of the main road in Arganda. Definitely worth a stop if you're hungry.

The patrons we observed on both of our visits appeared not to be strangers which made us believe the quality of food brings locals back time and again. The English here is limited to non-existent but communication is easy.
