Gambas de ajilla son buenisimas Tio

by blgerson

Brought me back to Spain for a minute. Croquetas Estrella Damn and jamon y queso all were all damn good. A bit pricey but it was worth checking out.

Food is OK.

by vien1224

The restaurant is small and cozy, very good atmosphere. But the food is OK, not very impressive. the bartender is also OK who is nice but not very fluent in English. The store manager is very kind.

Good food, good drinks and good service!

by Gabriela123

We went to have dinner at Cafe Ronda and we had a really good experience! the food is really good, we started with some tapas, then i had an excellent lomo saltado with a delicios sangria the dessert was really good too. There is a very warm and nice atmosphere, the people working there are friendly and very pleasant. The place is very well distributed and the music was excellent as well... The only bad thing was that they only accept AMEX or cash but other than that we had a very nice time!
