Be aware of the dirty tricks

Nov 2024 • couples

They have a good food. But, they use some dirty tricks to take some extra money. They brought us two slices of bread with some kind of inedible mayonnaise. They weren't on the menu, they didn't warn us that there was an additional cost and they charged us 3 Euros. I asked for some pepper and two slices of lemon for the shrimp and calamari. They brought us a teaspoon of spicy sauce, which they charged 2.50 Euros, and two slices of lemon, which cost us an additional 2.50 Euros. To the cost of the ordered products - 29.70 Euros, they added - trick - another 8 Euros - 27%. Thank goodness I didn't ask for some salt or a toothpick! The additional costs would probably have been half the value of the bill. Also, if you are not Spanish, you should expect the glass of wine you order to be half full. Although the food was good, these disgusting tricks make us never return to...

A Gem of Authenticity and Warmth

My recent visit to this restaurant was an extraordinary experience. The establishment, with around 10 tables, is adeptly managed by an incredibly efficient and warm team of just two people. This remarkable setup not only offered a uniquely personal dining experience but also a deep appreciation for the authentic cuisine and philosophy of the proprietors.

Despite the challenge of a larger space for such a small team, the wait times were impressively short. This showcased the team's exceptional professionalism and efficiency. The service was quick, yet the atmosphere maintained a relaxed and friendly charm, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The food exemplified the authenticity and simplicity of the local cuisine, yet with some delightful surprises. The stuffed peppers, in particular, were a standout, offering a perfect blend of flavor and presentation.

The pricing was more than reasonable, making this restaurant a must-visit destination for anyone in search of an authentic, heartwarming, and affordable culinary experience. It’s a hidden gem that I wholeheartedly recommend! Due to the limited size reservations...

Beautiful and cosy place. Incredibly good food, best price for sure. The waitress was extremely good at selling because she didn‘t even try. She was genuinely nice and attentive. We walked by, ogling the food on the plates of two people sitting outside. After we had looked at the menu for a bit, trying to figure out what they were having, she came outside to tell us. She didn’t stand outside trying to lure us in, she only came after we had shown some interest and she answered our first questions without us having to ask. Everything about the place was right. The alley where it’s in is charming, with shoulder-high plants on both sides. It’s just the right atmosphere. The setting in La Cocina is modern but traditional and creative (ladles in frames with a tea candle in them to decorate the wall? So good!), the music was just right, the food was really good and was brought at exactly the right time.. it was a great experience from start to finish. We already talked about giving 5 stars after the soup and the salad but decided to wait for the meat - first bite in was when we decided we would definitely recommend it to anybody that...
