Restaurante El Rancho — Restaurant in Taberno

No 13 down a sleepy track on a hill nestles this little jewel of a bar and restaurant. It doesn’t look much from the outside but slide open the door and step in. Round the back the owner has provided a full service point for motorhomes with electric for 4 vehicles. €8 a night. A swimming pool is also available free to use ( peak period). The owner showed us the facilities which were very clean. We enjoyed an ice cold beer in a frosty glass then picked three things from the starter menu and then had a main each. Starters cost €1 and the Ajo or garlic is worth trying and if your hair doesn’t curl after eating you must be built of stern stuff! The pork skewers were prepared and cooked in front of us on the huge log fire as was the chicken for our main. Chips and a lovely fresh salad were washed down with house red. Great tasting and good quality. Lovely...

The guys that owns this place has enormously thick glasses. I've never met anyone so short sighted! We came and paid the €8 for the pitch and €3 for the EHU. We had already purchased beers in the bar and were about to spend at least another 60 EUR on food and more drinks with him when my wife thought it might be nice to have a dip in the pool. He soon appeared and informed her that a dip in the pool was another €5. So we went back to our van to drink our own beer and eat our own food. It was clearly very quiet and the whole place was very run down. Stayed the night. Won't come back. No wonder he has no business and the place...

Not a great welcome from the waitress. Not sure but she could be one of the owners. Surly, dismissive, unhelpful. I had melon, cheese and jamon. The melon had tinges of onion taste as if the same knife had been used to cut both. The jamon was tough and chewy. Went as a party of 4 and we all agreed we would...
