“ Nice-family style restaurant with homemade food. When you enter, there are 3 tables and the bar, The main dining area and bathrooms are downstairs. The family is from Orense, Galicia and are very friendly. The waitresses are very busy and oftentimes forget to bring you things, like oil and vinegar, etc. The price for the "menu of the day" is 10.20 euros. You can't beat it. This isn't a fancy place but it is good and has been serving the neighborhood for 40 years. You can tell by how many regulars they have, that people are happy with them! Not wheelchair accessible. I'd say that's the only negative. ”
