"Raciones de muy buen tamaño, a un precio popular en pleno Ponzano. Pedimos 3 raciones que pensábamos que iba a ser poco y no pudimos con ello (4 personas). Nos sorprendió muy gratamente, el servicio muy bueno también. No pongo 5 estrellas por la estrechez del lugar que se nos hizo algo incómodo, pero volveremos sin duda y lo recomiendo para una cena rápida y abundante"

"A great spot to eat with good, affordable food and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff doesn’t speak English, but the service is still smooth. TVs playing add to the laid-back vibe. Worth a visit!"

"Very Spanish place, with local atmosphere and the most important- Spanish food . The sheaf is amazing and food is really good. The only minus is you eat a lot! Definitely worth a visit! The waiter looks kind of creepy, and very serious, but really he has a very kind heart and joking a lot!"

"Bueno como explicar esta buena reseña… Lo primero es que el trato es cercano, la comida es como si te cocinara tu abuela… El caso es que el precio para la zona que es… son 14€ el menú, con bebida… Creo que este tipo de restaurantes son los que le hacen falta a Madrid, gente le apasiona y dan un servicio magnífico… Destaco los pimientos rellenos, la calidad de la carne y el sabor del arroz con leche!!! RECOMIENDO"
