1,50€ la Coca-Cola, a día de hoy es historia y con una tapa de sin quejas. Por no hablar de los cubatas a 5€ que otro lujo. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones a esté bar. (Me cuesta creerlo pero así es)

No tiene ningún tipo de sentido el tamaño de las tapas de tortilla con el café, son enormes. Un trato magnífico. Volveremos sin duda. El mejor bar de la zona.
