“ Es muy difícil decidir un sitio para comer en León por la gran oferta, toda de calidad, que ofrece esta ciudad. Por una corazonada me metí en este sitio y no me equivoqué. Se notaba el cariño en todos los platos que probé. Por correo, menú del día espectacular. ”
“ Ambiente excelente. Tostas de pan de hogaza riquísimas. Probamos con lomo adobado y queso, la de cecina, los croquetones y los mejillones con salsa. Todo espectacular. Volveremos. Está un poco escondido entre calles. Servicio y atención de barra rápido y amable. 100% recomendable. ”
“ Un buen lugar para tapear en León. El sitio es pequeño pero acogedor. Las tapas estaban muy buenas en especial la morcilla. También probamos mejillones en salsa muy ricos y huevos con patatas y cecina. Salimos de allí rodando. ”
“ Caro, pero con buenas tapas. Tal y como está León, este bar tiene un pase. Una copita del vino más barato te cuesta 2'90 €, pero te dan una tapa decente (croquetón, burrito de picadillo, rollitos de verduras, etc). Lo de 'te dan' es un decir, porque vaya que sí las cobrán, Además, si no es hora de tapa, o si no la quieres, te cobran igual . Y si deseas una tapa 'extra' su precio es de 1'50 €. En fin, cada vez más harto de esta costumbre de decir que "regalan" tapas ... cuando de regalo NADA ”
“ Fantastic food at good prices. We loved the morcilla de Leon with pear! ”
“ Amazing food and excellent service. Best seafood place in Leon!! ”
“ Discovered this place by accident. Small place, but excellent food options. Enjoyed very much the Caziela de Morcilla. Excellent leonese Morcilla (with onion, not rice as with Morcilla de burgos). Generous serving, with more than enough toast portions to eat it with. And to accompany, the restaurant has an extensive menu of tostas, interesting combinations (e.g., Morcilla with pear). We had one tosta, with lomo, lacon, 2 eggs, cheese, tomato. One tosta by itself would have been sufficient for one person. All topped off with friendly service, and clean settings. ”
