"Seems like an authentic place, always a good sign when the locals come over to eat. The waitress was friendly and helpfull.
We ate some good things like the tortilla and the scampis in garlic. But some other things we ordered weren't that great (like the marinated mussels). Not bad, but we've eaten better tapas in Spain. Maybe the only decent one in Salou..."

"Very good, authentic food. Small restaurant with locals showing up to chat with the owners. Felt a bit pricey for what we got, but it was definitely good!"
