My husband was craving for a good Spanish non-tapas meal after having had tapas for 7 consecutive days. We were in the neighborhood when this restaurant showed up as “well-rated” (4 out of 5 stars) in our TripAdvisor and Google searches. Although this restaurant was...not listed on FourSquare, my husband and I decided to give this restaurant a shot.
It was 830pm and other than one other family and us, the restaurant was rather empty. However, we thought it was because we were eating way earlier than the Spanish usually do, we did not see this as an ominous sign. They only had menus in Spanish so we had a tough time deliberating what to order.
The waitress was kind and recommended some dishes. She recommended us to try a dish with jamon, eggs and potatoes (fries). We decided to give that one dish a try since it was recommended by her and we didn’t know any better - it turned out to be the biggest disappointment my husband and I have ever tasted while on holiday. It was such a let down that even the tomato salad we had, which was only just sliced tomatoes, olive oil and seasoning, tasted better than the jamon dish that was served. I will let readers decide for themselves from the photos we took.
Perhaps it was just this one dish that was terrible. However, I shudder to imagine how the other dishes that were not recommended by her could have tasted.
Readers beware: in our opinion, the rating on TripAdvisor and Google is very misleadingMore
