Delicious! Funky atmosphere! Good prices! Nice staff. Wonderful Vermut!
I would recommend this place for groups of friends. It has that sort of pre-partying vibe.
Came here with 3 others on a lazy Saturday evening for an early dinner. We had a dog with us and the guy invited us right in! There isn't a terrace or back patio, not sure if they always allow dogs or just because they weren't too busy. Our group was ready to eat but unfortunately the kitchen wasn't open for another hour. After speaking with our server (who also seemed like he could be the owner or manager), he said we could order some things for a pica pica (small bites to share) while the kitchen was opening. I've worked in the food industry and this was very kind of them to accommodate us, especially since we were so early. So we started off with a round of housemade Vermouths (vermuts), nachos with guac, and fries with cheese sauce and bacon. Holy guacamole- YUM!! Guac hit the spot, the nachos really were just tortilla chips, the bacon cheese fries were addicting! I've never had a better cheese sauce, usually I strongly dislike them but this one was perfectly balanced in flavor. Oh I'm dreaming about those cheese fries and crispy bacon! Okay, maybe they were so amazing because of our hunger from beaching all day, but still they were tasty. I would say those two appetizers split amongst four people were perfectly portioned. Also we all agreed that their Vermuts were the best we've had in Barcelona. Not too sweet, flavored nicely and garnished with orange and olive. They were 2 or 2.50 each.
For our main meals we ordered two portions of the "Parillada para dos personas". This was a board of assorted grilled Argentinian meats including 3 types of steaks and 2 types of sausages. It also came with fries which were seasoned perfectly with some sort of spice/herb blend. The meat board was accompanied by two sauces: a garlic aioli and a chimichurri. SO, so good!!! The meat was cooked a juicy medium to medium rare, very distinct flavors but all so delicious! There was plenty of food. I think the price was about 24 or 26 euros per meat board. I suppose you could split the parillada among three people but it splits really nicely for two.
Our waiter was awesome! I would not describe him as friendly at all, but he took care of us and made us feel welcome.
I would return in a heartbeat.

This place is still awesome. Great service, you can tell the staff actually care about the place and watch out for little details.
Bacon cheese fries are still a must. Their other drinks are delicious! Caipirinhas, daiquiris, etc. read more
