"It doesn’t look much from the outside but the food was really tasty. The goat cheese salad was absolutely gorgeous and the zamburinas were also great. The potatoes were very spicy 🥵 but good!"

"After a walk along the long beach promenade in Getxo I fancied a sit down and a snack.
I started looking for bars that offered a vast array of Pintxos and decided on this place and I'm glad I did! :)
I walked in and my eyes were presented with more savoury bar treats than I could of imagined!
I went for 5 different pieces (at €1 each) both meat and seafood ones and they were all amazing, but especially the jamón ones...I could of gone back for more but held back!
So, if you want a true taste of Basque Pintxo delights then definitely check out this place if you're in the area!
I was that impressed I had to give it 5 stars! ;D"
