Carbones 13 — Restaurant in Tarifa

I wish I read the reviews before coming here. They hit the nail on the head saying this place is only for people who speak Spanish. We were very uncomfortable and our waitress was huffing and rolling her eyes at us laughing while trying our best to communicate. She’d walk away in the middle of a sentence. We asked for 2 margaritas, said it in Spanish, and she questioned my husband trying to make him feel stupid insinuating he didn’t use the word correctly. We could see her talking about us to other servers, they kept sending new people over even after us communicating we didn’t speak great Spanish and they would just start speaking Spanish and then get mad we didn’t understand. It didn’t matter what we did. Really sucks because it is a beautiful spot. But we would never go back or send...

In an aggressive manner, this person, who seems to be the owner, said that this is the table and there is no other option, although most tables were empty at that time. We asked again if we could swap tables, but he just turned his back on us.

WE DECIDED TO LEAVE AND NOT STAY ANOTHER SECOND THERE!

The restaurant is located directly on Tarifa’s Atlantic city beach, the one farthest from the town center. However, this convenient location has two negative consequences – the lack of competition and the fully beachside setting make the staff completely laid-back and treat guests as a necessary nuisance.

In my case, after receiving water and the menu, I waited over half an hour just to make eye contact with a waiter to order lunch. When I finally managed to remind him, he brought me the bill for the water and thanked me for my visit.

I had to walk along the beach back to town to find something to eat. So I can’t judge the quality of the food, but the quality of service is terrible. Not...
