Una tortilla de patata espectacular. Más majos que las pesetas y unos precios como han de ser, sin abusos ni exageraciones. Muy recomendable, de verdad. Como en casica.

Typical Spanish bar. The food is good but the service is a bit off-putting, but do not take it personal, some Spanish people have that kind of stoic personality.

Me llevé tres tortillas de patata para celebrar un cumpleaños. El éxito fue total. Buen expositor de tapas. Carta casera. Buenos caldos de uva.

De 10! Muy amables tanto Fermín como Reyes. Buenos precios y sobretodo muy buenas tapas y comida. La tortilla de patata espectacular! y las alegrías siempre dispuestas, y como su nombre indica, alegran cualquier tapa. Muy recomendable. A la vista está lo lleno que puede estar a ciertas horas. Todo el campus se ha rendido a ellos.

Un lugar super acogedor. Los dueños super majos y con un trato excelente, se preocupan en conocer a sus clientes y tener detalles con ellos. Para aquellos amantes de la tortilla patata, sin duda, un lugar donde ir a tomar un pincho. De las mejores con diferencia.

Las mejores tortillas de patata de Zaragoza sin duda, y quizá del Mundo! Un lugar amable y de trato fabuloso para tomar un pincho, o comer comida casera de calidad a buen precio. Reyes y Fermín son ídolos y referentes para mucha gente que asiduamente frecuenta el lugar. Totalmente recomendable!!
