“ 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. ”
“ Well located in the heart of La Alberca square. Even though there were quite a few people, the service was fast and very attentive from the bar. The tapas, typical of the area, were delicious and well presented. The quality-price ratio is unbeatable. Without a doubt, a place to repeat and totally recommended ”
“ A 10 place to eat. We went last night to have a wine and some very good generous tapas for 1 euro. We liked it and we went to eat today, we ate a very reasonably priced menu for how good it was. The first was typical potatoes and paella that was amazing. Second lamb and grilled goat, one of the best I've ever had. To finish very delicious desserts, my partner wanted to surprise me by putting some candles on the dessert cake and it was super good. I already want to go back. ”
“ Abundant portions. The meats are simply spectacular (steak ordered very well done and despite the difficulty they have achieved it completely and some cheeks that were enough to give the cook two kisses). Combined dishes for the less gourmet that meet both quality and quantity. Highly recommended. Very attentive and helpful staff. ”
“ The food, the price, and the service of the waiters were all fantastic. We thought it would be an expensive restaurant geared toward tourists because it was located in the central plaza, but it was quite the opposite. We will definitely return; everything was delicious. I especially recommend the Castilian soup. A pleasure to eat there. :) ”
