Had a very nice lunch here on a sunny day in June (have a very long backlog of reviews to get through) so sad to see this may no longer exist. Nevertheless, I'll continue with the review in the hope that "temporarily closed" is accurate. We had the prawns in oil, broken eggs, padron peppers and the tortillitas de camarones, which were my favourite part. Service was fairly quick and was one of the better meals we had in Cadiz. Prices were also reasonable.

Great food with chill people watching. Had lunch here for our day trip to Cadiz. Staff welcoming to Americans and gave us QR code for English menu. Patatas bravas was highlight!

We went for a lovely meal here one evening recently. We started with roasted vegetables and the tune tartare which was lovely. Then we had jamon croquettes which were great. The squid was a let down though, came out with visible blood on the meat under the coating and the dry dredge was bitter, like the flour had turned. I would like to add the service we received was exceptional though, both the round lady and gentleman were great, thank you so much for making us feel welcome.

You don't need any command of language here, just point onto anything on the menu and your brain will melt down. But if you really want to knock yourself out then just ask for small portions one by one and bring a friend to share with. You will become addicted to this place.

Very busy place but seeing how good the food looked we managed to get a table, glad we did. Had a couple of brilliant fish tapas dishes but the stars today were the amazing fried fish platter, it was fantastic, also David our server who was equally amazing and helped us out on what to order. Perfect start to our stay in Cádiz.
