Relaxed and friendly as long as you try to speak a little Spanish. The parilla (mixed grill) is excellent, as are the carillada (pork cheeks) and the riñones (kidneys). House salad is good with carrot, beetroot, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, egg, sweetcorn and tuna. Can't comment on any vegan options, sorry Arcos has not really got there yet although Retablo in the old town is trying hard

Un lugar estupendo, chano el dueño y camarero un hombre muy simpático y agradable, te recomienda sitios para visitar y te orienta sobre el pueblo. La comida está muy buena y es un sitio muy barato y se come muy bien, hemos ido varios días en nuestra estancia es tan familiar que hasta una foto se hizo con nosotras. No podéis ir ha arcos y no visitarlo es magnífico
