Pintxos were great and service was fast even they are always busy. We love fried anchovies and the peppers. I liked vermouth too. Highly recommended!

Great place at all times of day. Had breakfast and dinner here. Local bar/restaurant (greetings in Basque - Kaixo!), but treat everyone like regulars, very attentive and fast service. Recommend the Antzara salad, a pasta salad comfort food bowl.

Sat at an outside table with our dog. Service excellent. Staff were understanding when our dog was scared by some fireworks. Ate calamari, ensalada rusa, Patatas bravas and Patatas con Huevos y Jamon. All good, would have marked 5/5 if the calamari had been a bit crispier. These 4 dishes were too much for two of us! Great value €47 including 2 wines and 2 beers. Good choice of wines and beer.

Came here for breakfast and it was a nice experience. There were many choices of little dishes and they were mostly really tasty. Drinks are also nice. Quite comfortable to sit just outside and relax.

We were staying in the neighborhood and passed this place several times a day. It was always packed. There were a couple of seats open on our last night so we ducked in and grabbed a spot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. If you’re not inside then folks can watch the game either through the windows or the seat’s outside. We weren’t super hungry so we ordered cerveza, txakoli, ensalada burrata and calamares. Seems more like a local hangout either way a handful of tourists sprinkled throughout.
