"This is a tale of two restaurants, both mysteriously located in exactly the same place. We came here three nights, and had enjoyed the first two so much, we decided to come back for our final meal before leaving On our previous occasions we had eaten a wide selection of fish (such as the rape frito and the sardines), vegetables (deep fried aubergines and peppers) and salads. All excellent. The house salad was enormous and varied, quite the best in La Herradura, and the aubergines, particularly on the second trip, we’re done to perfection. Absolute 5 star food Service, less so. Not overly friendly, and on day one we were allowed to massively over order due to the generous portions, although at least that allowed us to taste a lot of food! Which brings me to the last night, a Sunday We ordered a number of our previous favourite dishes, including the mixed salad, the swordfish and the aubergines. Massive disappointment. The salad was small and a bit sad, the aubergines almost raw and the rape was so watery, we couldn’t eat it. The crispy chips with the swordfish had been replaced by boiled new potatoes. We were asked if the rape was “no bien”, but our affirmation did not elicit an apology nor a reduction: just a slight increase in overall froideur So probably a different chef, and one who never communicated with the usual chef, just cooked off the menu to his or her own tune. And who clearly could not take criticism! I don’t know whether to recommend this place or not. The location is amazing, and the food fantastic if you are there on the right day. You are served, but it is hard to describe it as “service”. Probably worth a shot, but not on a Sunday!"
