Inside, the decoration reminded me of the 60s in Spain, which isn't an insult. Our waiter was really nice and warm, and he explained where to go and what to see. He recommended the house flan, and it was very good. I had the spaghetti bolognese, a flank of beef with fries, and the flan. The beef tasted different, but it wasn't bad - it was more like corned beef with gravy. The food was nothing amazing, but it did its job.

Our order was 2 menu del día (11€ per) and a hamburger (so cheap about 5€!!) off the regular menu. I had pasta with chorizo and veal with fries. My friend had a mixed salad with lomo. For dessert we had flan and postre con queso(? Cheesecake?). Everything was so good and such generous portions! Desert or wine or coffee was included in the fixed meal price. But the best part was our waiter. We ordered in Spanish but were speaking with each other in English and started to joke and speak with us in English. He then continued in Spanish and telling us about how from the US, there have only been 2 states that he hasn't had tourists from and that about 20 years ago, he knew how to converse more or less in about 10 languages. And we had a couple of minute discussion about how important languages are and was just a wonderful person to chat with. I think his shift was over before we were done so we didn't get to say goodbye but thank you for a great experience!
