I left the restaurant, and came back with more cash to pay tip. They're that good.

Perfect experience! The restaurant itself looks a bit shabby, but don't let that discourage you. The staff was super friendly and their food is simply delicious. We had Patas Arrugadas (boiled potatoes with red and green sauce), Sirloin steak and Carne de Cabra (Goat Meat). Yummy. We will definitely come back soon to try more! Thank you!

Really fresh fish and seafood, really recommend try fish you see there on ice in front of the kitchen. Also a FISH SOUP is really great and portion is big/small enough to save space for a second dish. Quick service. If you have been to guachinche before visiting this place don’t expect same amount of food, portions are medium but are decent in size. Friendly personnel.

Extremely nice atmosphere and friendly staff! When it comes to the food, you get what you pay for: it might not be top gourmet food, but considering the very cheap price, it was still great. I also ordered a whisky, which was only 2.50 € and very good quality and large in size. Highly recommend!!

Very nice restaurant with fresh fish kitchen and regular meals. We had the speciality of the house the parrot fish. Excellently prepared on the grill - mind blowing. On weekends the do chickens on the grill with a tasty marinade. The whole village seems to go there for these chickens. Have a try. Good value for price.
