They always make something vegetarian to my taste when I go there with my wife and mother-in-law. They rave about the "chuletillas de cordero" while I rave about how friendly they are when taking care of my dietary needs.

We drove through here and had a coffee about 6 months ago and had a coffee, the place looked interesting enough to warrant a visit for a meal. However we live In Aguilas, about 90km away so we are only here on "days out". Yesterday was a Sunday and my wife's birthday so we decided to make the drive with friends, hoping it would be open. The one negative I have is that nobody answered the phones.. 1.45 arrival on Sunday, we were the only customers but the welcome was genuine and the grill roaring away. Firstly 2 young waiters, male and female, both spoke and little English and were happy to use it, genuinely welcoming and pleasant The food. Well... we had the usual 3 courses plus coffee, drinks, bread and aleolli and a salad. The bill was €30 each..expensive you may think. We didn't. Looking at the grill we opted for entrecote steak, obviously not a cheap choice but it was MASSIVE. Huge. I'm a well done guy, my wife is medium and we had 2 rare. Each steak was perfect, 4 people universally said that it was the best steak we've had in years. Absolutely amazing ! The dessert was to die for too. By the time we left the bar was full and another dining room was being used as well. From service to food to atmosphere to price. I cannot fault it. Definitely one to come back to !!

We found it on our trip to Granada by chance . We were looking for an area to rest and eat something before getting our goal. We ate a such as yummy barbecue and it wasn't expensive at all.
