We thought of stopping by only for a cup of coffee at 10am but stayed on for a long time as the fresh pintxos started to be displayed at the counter. Cannot resist the unique pintxos they offer here - the local goat cheese with italian tomato and basil, black pudding with peanuts, gratin spider crab, fried baby squid with sweet onion, gratin squid, basque cheese with apple and walnut.. the combination is unique and delicious! It turned out that coming here early to sample the pintxos is a relaxing idea. There was just a smattering of folks having one pintxos and coffee before lunch. We did come back in the evening but it was incredibly crowded - inside and outside the street. By the way the staff though efficient, is pretty curt. But I'd go there again despite the service for the unique pintxos. The cheesecake is also amazing here too.

If you're looking for the Bilbao pincho experience and don't mind fighting large crowds to get your food, this is your place. There's absolutely no organization, so you may end up waiting thirty minutes to get any service. The staff is generally nice except the man who was cleaning tables who got unreasonably angry because we hadn't deposited our napkins in the container he'd given us...keep in mind we hadn't yet finished eating. The pinchos were some of the best I had. However, I'm not sure they lived up to the hype, especially given how chaotic the entire experience was...

Don't order the baked crab!! If someone wants to pay 19 euros for baked béchamel, fine. I definitely prefer crab. We came to this place just for Tsangurro gratinado. We ordered crab, scallops and croquettes. The scallops and croquettes were ok, but instead of crab we got baked béchamel. We didn't eat it and reported it to the staff, but the crab was still on our bill. So if you don't want to eat bland baked flour with a slight crab aftertaste, don't order it here. Go to wine bar Cork - there you will get delicious crab.

Very rude and unfriendly staff. We sat at the table and bought some pinchos from the bar. I ordered some drinks, and waited for my boyfriend to order also food from the menu. When the waiter saw that we brought to the table plate with pinchos she started to scream at us that NO SE PUEDE HACERLO ASÍ AQUI that we have no right to do this 😀 bro, afterwards we had no appetite at all, like honestly are you nuts or you had a bad day? Stay home, don’t work with the people, please. Good luck, guys)

.Visited this evening for dinner. Good location, friendly staff and delicious food. I had tuna which was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, crispy outside and a bit pink in the middle. Potato dish was also well seasoned and tasty and tried a bit of meatballs my partner ordered which was very tasty. The photo I added doesn't do the justice, my fault it looked very appetising and I had a mouthful before I remembered to take a pic for the review!

Went for the crab gratin and it was so worth it. Crab is probably the signature dish of this bar it got even a decoration of crab. Tried other visually enticing stuff too and almost every one of them is good. Seafood tastes fresh. The atmosphere is great and people seem to have an agreeable vibe at this location. The staff are very friendly too. Strongly recommend for Bilbao center tapas bar hopping.
