"First site visit: I ask if we can sit anywhere, they answer yes without telling us anything else. After choosing from the menu, we waited for more than 15 minutes like idiots sitting waiting for a waiter, until we saw that on the bar counter and in the kitchen there are signs that announce Order here , something that the bar clerk could have warned us We were obviously new to the place, and it didn 't help that the bar clerk was concentrating on his phone while the kitchen girls were having big talks among themselves. I return to the bar counter to place the order for the whole table, I ask for some bread to accompany the tapas, with butter if possible, they tell me they don 't offer it, I offer to pay for it, they explain to me that the only way to get it is if I buy sandwiches (aka Montaditos), I reject them, we would go for some tapas, sangria, and beers. The clerk asks me if I want to leave the account open, I answer yes, I can 't think of a different way. He tells me that if I want to do it I have to leave the credit card with him, I tell him that I don 't feel comfortable with that and he tells me that then I have to close the order. He puts me a machine to pay that offers you to leave a tip starting at 18% while they give you zero service at the table, bizarre, of course I don 't leave a penny, why would I have to? I return to the table, 2 trips to bring 2 beers, a pitcher of sangria, and 4 glasses, the impassive clerk. Already seated waiting for the tapas, I noticed a strong smell of perfumed bathroom , of that industrial perfume widely used in bathrooms, unpleasant to be at the table, it seems to me that extractors should be installed. We were at the table next to the entrance to the hallway that leads to the bathroom, we changed tables, moving as far away from the place as possible and we no longer felt the smell. Using a kind of megaphone the call Eduardo! arrives, very loud for such a small place, it feels brutal, unnecessary as there were only 3 tables occupied. It makes us laugh, it was the penultimate straw to decide that this place is not worth a second visit. 3 trips to bring the tapas to the table, a 4th trip to order a sauce and pick up forks. Not even half of the order fit on the table, luckily the place was empty and we were able to help ourselves with another table. Mediocre tapas. Do not expect anything from the other world, but they are still quite adjusted to the price, they are not expensive either. Penultimate straw, we ordered assorted croquettes, supposedly 4 flavors, and the sales assistants unable to identify which ones were of each flavor, we had to try them to guess, in the end it turned out that they only put us fish and cheese. More beer and sangria, another couple of trips to the bar. Last straw: to finish we decided to order churros, and a catalan cream. Since there was a line of 3 couples at the bar order point, I went to the window in the kitchen area, which also has an order here sign... but no, the impassive clerks barely interrupted the conversation for a second. conversation to tell me it 's over there pointing to the bar. We are left with the wishes, and not because of the short row, but because of the absurdities. We recently bought in the area, my wife and I went out with 2 other couples of friends looking for our place in the area for tapas/snacks and a couple of beers... it won 't be this one, not at the moment."
