"My daughter and her husband visited this gourmet tapas bar first. They raved about their meal and returned the next evening. Apparently my son in law was struck dumb by the experience of eating the delicious pork tenderloin. Our holiday was coming to an end...but we too had to visit! The position does not have the wow factor of the beachfront, tucked to the side of the Mercadona supermarket. There are outside tables and a couple more inside. It is clear that this bodega/restaurant is a labour of love. The owner is clearly passionate about wine and hugely informative. He does not speak much English but hand gesticulations and his enthusiasm communicate quite well. My son in law had already brought home a bottle of the red he had enjoyed so we could all enjoy it. The wine is good value and the owner is keen to pair the correct wine with your chosen food too. The tapas we enjoyed were unusual and beautifully put together. My daughter loved the goats cheese salad and the artichokes with anchovy were an unexpected but successful pairing. The little sandwich rolls, montaditos, were exceptional and my 6 year old grandson exclaimed that his mini hamburger was the best he had ever had! I noticed that many of our fellow diners were all Spanish and were digging into the montaditos at 11pm as a late night snack. The thin steak with grilled foie gras was an amazing sandwich combination. The quality of everything was excellent. The service was friendly and it is clear that the owners want to share their love of food and wine. My grandson enjoyed playing in the small play area nearby which gave us all some peace! We will return next year."
