La Sarten de la Abuela

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming restaurant that left an indelible impression on my taste buds – a delightful experience that I feel compelled to share. From the moment we stepped onto the balcony, bathed in the warm sunlight, to the last heavenly bite of their ham croquettes, every aspect of our visit was nothing short of amazing.

The ambiance of the balcony provided the perfect setting for a leisurely meal, offering a breathtaking view that complemented the overall dining experience. The golden rays of the sun created a serene atmosphere, enhancing the joy of savoring delicious food.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the ham croquettes. They were nothing short of perfection. Crispy on the outside, with a rich and creamy ham filling that melted in the mouth. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that showcased the chef's culinary expertise.

The service was impeccable, with attentive staff adding to the overall positive impression. The menu offered a variety of enticing options, but the ham croquettes were an absolute standout.

In conclusion, this restaurant seamlessly blended a captivating ambiance, exceptional service, and outstanding culinary craftsmanship. If you find yourself craving an unforgettable dining experience with phenomenal ham croquettes, look no further – this establishment is a true gem.

Terrible experience. We waited 50 minutes for appetizers and salad, and over 1.5 hours for the main course. My steak came rare instead of medium, even though I clearly said I’m pregnant and can’t eat undercooked meat.
Very disappointing service.

P.S. This is the steak after they “re-cooked” it

Decent food with good flavor and mostly good priced at exceptional of a few things.

The guys that served as was fantastic. Very communicative and kind. We had a good experience.

Disappointed
Sunday evening is not a good time to eat at this restaurant and 24 August 2025 was really bad for our party of 4 people. The waitress was miserable and uninterested and the food order came out at different times. One meal came out first and much later our 3 burgers arrived with badly burnt bread and dry meat. The restaurant had only 2 other customers, so it wasn't busy. The cook had an easy job as 3 of the meals were all the same. This cook needs monitoring as the meal quality and presentation was unacceptable. I wish now that we had refused them and sent them back, but we just scraped off the burnt, which left us with half as much bread and an inferior, poor quality, disappointing, over-priced burger.
This restaurant has always been our favourite at Plaza Mayor for many years. The man serving there in the day time has always been attentive and welcoming, creating a good atmosphere. We had previously been very satisfied, but will not be returning as this experience has made us feel differently about the place.

We had an amazing Lunch today here! The Pil Pil was Devine!
Will 100% be back! Friendly staff, delicious food!
