Although service is fast, there's always a queue of people waiting to be fed. However, that's also an indication of how good the food is. The interior decor of colourful ceramic tiles on the walls and farm implements hanging everywhere reflects the origins of the owners. They're from a rural part of Teruel, in the province of Aragón. As for the food, they serve Raciones (plate-size portions) of Patatas Bravas (spicy fried potatoes), Pescaíto (mixed fried Mediterranean fish), Aragón Sausage and Grilled Cuttlefish that can all be washed down with excellent wines from Rioja. You often bump into famous Catalan and Spanish celebrities here, who travel all the way out from the centre for the excellent food and atmosphere.
