The photos shown the different tapas we got for every drinks we ordered. Seriously...REAL TAPAS...means taste great (not only good). Imagine...paying around 5 euro for 2 drinks and tapas. We also ordered extra tapas....amazing grilled octopus and meatballs. So..if you are in Granada.... DO visit this place. Come before the bar open! Definitely we'll come back."

Food was amazing a d portions were huge. For each ordered drink - one free tapas (can’t choose). Some people were just ordering drinks, without ordering any food, course there were getting free food anyways"

We went five minutes before 8pm and stood in line for the opening, which was quite long and a bit intimidating, but actually we were able to get in once it opened! Fast-paced and a bit hectic, but the food is delightful. I loved everything we had here."

Mar 18, 2026"A wildly popular spot in town. By the time we arrived, dozens of people were already in line, and by opening time the queue wrapped around the street corner. The first photo was taken after we finished dinner, and even then a line of eager diners still waited outside. Inside, the restaurant buzzed with energy—not just from the crowd, but from the walls themselves, densely covered with images of the Virgin Mary, religious figures, musicians, and other famous faces. Pottery, metal plates, and jars hung from every corner, creating a kaleidoscope of color and texture. The tapas were a delight: rich, flavorful, and generously portioned. Some patrons seemed perfectly content with just drinks and tapas, soaking in the eclectic atmosphere. On the night we were there, free tapas included pork stew, meatballs, and chicken drumsticks. The dishes we ordered were tasty as well. Service, however, was less impressive; though perhaps understandable given the sheer number of customers."
