Ya hemos ido varias veces al local en calle de Velázquez aunque siempre para compartir raciones. Servicio muy inexperto y algo mecanizado, aunque eficiente para poder doblar servicios. Mesas para dos excesivamente pequeñas y poco espacio entre mesas. A veces resulta muy bullicioso. Esta ultima vez y para dos hemos pedido: - Ración de tortilla (lndispensable) - 1/2 ración de croquetas de carne de cocido (4 uds) (crujientes por fuera y cremosas por dentro) - 1/2 ración de empanadillas de bonito (4 uds) - Ración de rabas (muy buenas) - Ración de alitas glaseadas (deliciosas) - Ración de tarta de queso (indispensable) Todo ello con 4 dobles de cerveza: 83.70€ Pero también recomendariamos, por otras ocasiones, sus anchoas del Cantábrico, los pimientos de Isla asados, los bocartes fritos con un buen tomate aliñado (por desgeacia, hoy no había), los canelones rellenos de pularda con salsa de foie, los callos y de postre la agradable tarta de limón 1981.
