My wife and I stumbled across this gem of a restaurant and bar. Just off the main st. Very small, but clean. We ate tapas and had a beer. The service was great, and friendly. The food was fantastic.

Este sitio no es normal. Todo está buenísimo. Tapas caseras con la mejor atención posible. La carrillera en salsa.... Madre del amor hermoso! Que salsa! Y las barbadas fritas. No hemos probado ninguna tapa que se quede atrás y todo casero. Las chicas super amables cuando comenté que era celíaca indicando que podía comer de todo lo que tenían. Surtido de tapas impresionante. Nos hemos hartado por 20€, con 4 bebidas y 9 tapas. No es que os lo recomiende, es que tenéis que venir si os gusta comer o cenar con platos variados y caseros.

Found this little bar just off the main square. Open on a Monday and quite busy at 10pm with locals which speaks for itself. Great tapas. 3 plates, a big and small beer, free bread, all for euro 10.50. Great value and service. I hope to pass this way again.

A gem for tapas lovers. We visited this simple bar in March for lunch. More than 15 various tapas were preprepared and on display. We were hungry and had five different tapas, beer, water, wine and coffee. The dishes tasted very well and the white wine were one of the best we enjoyed in Spain. The bill was 23 € and very modest. Strongly to recommend.

Muy muy buena opción para cenar en Ciudad Rodrigo!! Aunque a priori el bar parece un poco desangelado y las mesas que tiene en frente también, tiene otra terraza que es una joya. La relación calidad precio es excepcional, y la atención exquisita. Volveremos seguro!!
