Si vienes de España espérate a volver,. Todo ajustado a los sabores de alli. la tortilla de chistorra es tortilla de patatas con trocitos de chistorra (o algo parecido)por encima, tabla de quesos y jamón normal, las bravas no muy bravas y las gambas al ajillo bien cocinadas pero con tabasco.La mini hamburguesa bien. Vinos variados de todas las regiones de España, y lo mejor el chocolate con churros. Y las camareras de 10

So happy we decided to make last minute reservations here. We had 2 nights in Galway and I wish we would’ve eaten here both nights. Every single dish we ordered was delicious!
