"Interesante recoveco en las entrañas vallekanas. Parrilla excepcional, buen cocido madrileño y orujo antológico, si no nos importan sus trajinadas vajillas"

"Se come estupendamente pero el servicio tardó demasiado. Empezaron a llegar platos casi a las 16h cuando la comida estaba puesta a las 14.30"

"Si quieres comer lo tradicional de raciones, este es tu bar, familiar con terraza y salón dentro, la.calidad/precio está muy bien. Y el servicio es muy profesional, como el que había antes en la hosteleria. Me gusto y repetire"

"Very tasty and high quality food! Haven't had such a delicious salmon steak in a long time. My friends liked the grilled meat too. The Flan is the most delicious I've had in Madrid. Unfortunately, there was no warning that both the bread is paid and the ice cream that is brought to the table. But in general, I recommend it."

"Me tomé un par de tercios son muy amables los chicos, y tienen intacta su etiqueta de camareros. Me encantan los bares clásicos con meseros mayores...se siente la historia de un bar con solo mirar a sus empleados e interior. Me encanta, admiración y respeto para estos negocios."

"Bar de raciones de toda la vida. Con muy buena calidad. Bar de toda la vida, tradicional. Si esperas innovación o cocina elaborada no es tu sitio. Camareros atentos y amables. Precios asequibles. Menú del día y carnes a la brasa de muy buena calidad. Recomendada la oreja a la plancha y el conejo con ensalada"

"Restaurante de toda la vida que ha visto siempre en mi barrio y al que no había ido todavía. Las raciones no son muy generosas y con precios normales (ni baratos ni caros), pero eso sí, su paletilla de cordero merece la pena, estaba muy tierno y muy bien hecho. Recomendable."
