Great parrillada! We stopped in at this busy parrillada for lunch whilst we were driving from A Coruna to Oviedo. On the recommendation of the friendly waiter we had the churrasco de tenera (grilled beef), churrasco de cerdo (grilled pork ribs) and chorizo. The meat was very tasty, cooked and seasoned to perfection - although the beef was a little fatty and we didn't really like the chorizo. It was served with 2 delicious sauces and we opted to have this with salad and bread. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable and the service was excellent.
Muy bien, todo para las opiniones que habíamos visto. Nos sorprendió muchísimo. La atención fue maravillosa por parte de la mujer que había allí. Las habitaciones estaban muy limpias y ordenadas. Cualquier cosa que necesitábamos, estaba dispuesta ayudar. Muy recomendable.
Great for the Camino but a wee bit out of town. Fab food. Really recommended the pilgrim menu! No WiFi in the hostel itself but available at the bar.
