Bien situado en plena plaza de La Alberca. A pesar de que había bastante gente, el servicio fue rápido y muy atento desde la barra. Las tapas, típicas de la zona, estaban deliciosas y bien presentadas. La relación calidad-precio es inmejorable. Sin duda, un sitio para repetir y totalmente recomendable

Comida correcta. Algo caro para la calidad ofrecida. Muy buenas las croquetas de rabo de toro. También el jamón ibérico. Muy buena atención, dejarse aconsejar.

We ate here three times during our long weekend in La Alberca which proves how good we thought it was. Service from Judit and the whole team was simply perfect. They really went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed as well as offering sound local knowledge and advice which was very much appreciated. The food was excellent especially the meat (Secreto / Pluma / Lagarto Iberico) which was amazing quality and cooked to perfection. The Patatas Meneas were also amazing. The outside area which sits on Plaza Major is covered and ideal even during inclement weather. Highly recommended, certainly one of the best in town.
