terrible place for many reasons:
1. the menu does not list the ingredients with which the dishes are made so if you have allergies it is not their problem.
2. terrible food.
3. lack of staff, in fact in the main room there were two tables of 20 people each (they were private parties booked previously) customers sitting at the tables outside and others near the counter. for about 80 customers there were only 3 waiters on the floor, one for drinks and one for bills. The waitress who was at the register then also plated the cheeses without washing her hands.
the waiters delivered the dishes to my hand and not to the table and an order was lost so I waited 20 minutes in vain.
My complaint is not against the waiters, in fact I perfectly understand their terrible working situation but against the owner who, knowing he had an overbooking, did not put too few staff on the floor.

Very unpolite stuff and customers pushing away. Menus are only in spanish, but the bartender screaming all around. No internet to translate the menus.
