Shrimp in oil (6/10): The shrimp was a little too greasy and had a pretty strong herby aftertaste. Fried Shrimp (5/10): tasted kind of average, similar to frozen shrimp. Lamb (7/10): The lamb was very good. Nicely sauteed, and it came with bread too Calamari (10/10): divinely fried. It was so nicely browned on the outside and just bursting with flavor. Tomatoes (8/10): nice and juicy tomatoes. Very refreshing. Olive oil was delicious!! Wines were very good. Be aware that you order at the bar. If you're at a table, they won't come asking if you want more food/drinks. I don't think the wait staff speaks much English, but we knew enough Spanish to get by.

We tried almost everything in the menu, and loved everything but our favourite was the tender lamb that fell of the bone. Not to mention the owner, who made us feel so at home... and had a great music selection! We hope to be back!

Apparently, Riofrio caviar is a famous organic caviar (even though we never heard of it) They have a sturgeon farm. "The water that comes from a natural spring just 300 meters from the fish farm, and the special temperature conditions of the environment, produce caviar that is characterized by its freshness and richness of flavor." The restaurant had a very extensive menu, however we were there primarily for the caviar, so we ordered caviar, sturgeon croquettes & bottle of cava. It wasn't as briny as the world renown caviar, but it did hold its own. Riofrio was well worth the stop.
