The king octopus is the only reason I come here. It&#39;s always tender, not rubbery at all. You can tell it&#39;s fresh, cooked just right. The location on the plaza is nice, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for that dish.

The grilled octopus was so tender, with a smoky char that just hit the spot. The arroz la casuca was rich and comforting. A really satisfying lunch.

Nice terrace for a business lunch. The daily menu is solid value. Croquettes were very good. Service was efficient, no waiting around. Good spot for a quick, reliable meal.

The ham and baby squid croquettes are the reason I came back. So creamy inside, perfectly crisp outside. A bit pricey for the portion, but I&#39;d order them again in a heartbeat.

Loved the terrace. Waiter was super friendly, made us feel right at home. The fried squid was crisp, the omelet simple but just right. A nice spot to unwind.

Stopped in for a snack. The olive oil with the bread was really good, actually ended up buying a bottle to take home. They have a few other local bits too.

Nice spot for a casual lunch after the beach. I grabbed a table on the terrace, it was super chill. The vibe is just right for kicking back in your flip-flops.

The Cachopo for three was massive, we could barely finish it. The crispy breading and melted cheese inside were just right.

Been coming here for years, and the family-run feel is always so consistent. It&#39;s why we keep coming back.

Came with friends and we got the mixed plate. The fries were so crispy and the portions were huge, perfect for sharing. Service was quick so we didn&#39;t have to wait long between catching up. A solid spot for a group.

The croquettes had big chunks of ham inside, really flavorful. The fried squid was perfectly crisp, not chewy at all. That&#39;s what I came for.

Quick coffee stop. Service was fast, staff attentive. Croissant was good. Churros were tasty, though slightly undercooked. Solid spot for a quick bite.

The sirloin with foie gras pintxo was the star for me. That little bite had so much going on, the rich foie gras with the perfectly seared beef. I&#39;ll be thinking about that one for a while.

I&#39;ve been here a few times now, always for the percebes. They&#39;re consistently fresh and perfectly cooked. The chuletitas are a solid choice too. It&#39;s my go-to when I want something I know will be good without any fuss.

Shared the set menu with red beans and ribeye steak. The steak was cooked just right, juicy and tender. Portion was generous, easily enough for two. Service was quick and friendly. Good spot for a satisfying meal.

I&#39;m very particular about freshness, and their seafood platter really delivered. The grilled prawns and scallops tasted incredibly fresh, like they were just caught. A lovely, light lunch.

Nice spot for a casual drink and some tapas on the terrace. The cocktails were good. I liked the vibe out there, it&#39;s a chill place to unwind after work. The seating was comfortable too.

The mountain stew was so rich and warming. The cod with tomato sauce from the set menu was lovely too. A really comforting meal, and the rice pudding just finished it all off nicely.

Great spot for a catch-up! The set dinner was a good deal, and the English menu made ordering a breeze. The vibe is lively but not too loud, perfect for chatting with friends. We stayed for ages just hanging out.

Inigo was a great server. He found us a good table and handled everything smoothly. Very professional.

Stopped by for lunch, got the fried squid and cheesecake. The squid was crispy, not rubbery at all. Cheesecake was solid. Nice and quiet spot, easy to park near the beach.

The waiter saw we didn&#39;t speak much Spanish and brought English menus right away. Really helpful.

Stumbled upon this spot during a stroll in Laredo. The anchovies were the highlight for me &ndash; so fresh and vibrant. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The ribeye was cooked nicely too. A solid choice for a simple, quality meal.

The wine pairing suggestion was spot on. Staff was really patient even though my Spanish is terrible. Made the whole dinner better.
