A place to come back to! A nice leisurely well priced lunch spot near Ciutadella Park. Most of the clientele were Spanish but they had an English language menu available online. All the food was fresh made to order. We sat outside and the street traffic did not bother us at all. I loved the Batman bocadilla (calamari, caramelized onions, and aioli) while my friend enjoyed her La Racó hambuerguesa. The server was a very lovely woman. I would definitely come back again but now that this is not the place for a hurried lunch, it is a place to sit and enjoy.

This place offers a truly local vibe and the prices are quite affordable, especially the set deals. Personally, the flavors weren't for me, but it's a good spot to try if you want to experience genuine local cuisine.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel staff and is the best food and service we have had in Spain! Highly recommend the Secreto al Chimichurri!

We came for a late lunch and were very satisfied with the food. Affordable, friendly service, tasty dishes. We especially loved the salad, it had many ingredients and was huge.

Great lunch menu for €16. Large portions, and lots of options. Usually places with many options have mediocre quality, but somehow most things we tried were pretty decent. Stay away from the ceviche. The arroz con ternera is great though.

If you want an authentic place, with very good food at reasonable prices and cheerful service, you have just found it. We returned here with our kids, each and every dish we had was perfect.
