"Just had a wonderful late lunch here. Our Spanish is very limited and the staff did not speak English, however we managed and were given a delicious variety of local dishes. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond, giving our toddler a small toy for entertainment and playing happy birthday for a group celebration. This meal has made our trip. Thank you very much."
