Very relaxed joint with the obligatory tissues chucked on the floor and large impressive hams hanging from the roof. Exactly what you want from a tapas place, noise, ham, beer and character.

There is a word in Spanish that perfectly characterizes this place, this place is "cutre", or "naff" in British English. The waiters are inept, the food takes forever to get to your table, the manager is full of excuses, once you get the food it is pretty average.

The price for one of this bocadillos is around 6 euros (2.50 for the tapa, which is like a small bocadillo), but it is worth paying that cos they are just... More
