"We loved lunch here. The service was great. The music was wonderful and the food was awesome. The Carcamusas (a tender pork stew) was delicious as was the Sopa de Castellana. A rough translation of this, which doesn’t do it justice, is garlic soup with bread, pimento and egg. The Ensalada my friend has as a Primero was fresh with a variety of raw vegetables. All the servings were very generous and the price good."
