"Small Spanish restaurant serving classic Spanish food. We requested the half and half cheese and meat platter. Bear in mind that the portions aren't big and this platter cost rm57. However the pork dish was lovely and service was good too. Barry was enthusiastic and attentive. Perhaps more fans can be installed in the al fresco area as it was rather humid when we sat outside for dinner. Prices are slightly on the steeper end but overall an enjoyable dining experience. Parking lots can be limited as well as this outlet is situated right by the roundabout."

"Preferably to book ahead and reserve a parking slot. Carpool is very much recommended for that area. Interior is cozy and quiet. Limited tables available but they have outdoor tables also. Table presentation is lovely. They have complimentary plain/ice water for you. The staff is attentive and helpful. Avocado salad is nice, complete with jerky on top is a nice touch. Pumpkin soup is thick, kids love it. Croquettes is nice, full of meat filling, different from Japanese croquettes. Canelones is filled with juicy meat filling. Creme brulé is okay for me. Cola cao is like milk chocolate, so-so. Will try the other chocolate drink next time. Mango drink is light and nice."

"3 nights in Kuching and visited this amazing restaurant 2 times. The piece de resistance was the Sangria, one of best we have ever had. The meal was 10/10, the paella, calamari and croquettes were out of this world . Such sumptuous and flavourful meals. Not to mention the service was also 10/10. Big shoutout to Anita the owner who went out of her way to make us feel so welcome. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone"
