About 25-something years ago this was one of the places I used to go for affordable good quality grilled meats and great fritos. A classic “cheap & cheerful” spot, the menu hasn’t changed much, even though the original Coloniales was bought out many years ago. The house specialities still include the ‘tablas’ which are thick cut slices of toasted country bread with a variety of toppings, such as salmorejo with jamón serrano and quail eggs. Other popular favourites are the various solomillo (grilled pork tenderloin) tapas that are offered with a variety of sauces – ‘al whisky’, roquefort, ‘a la castellana’.

The food is basic and good value for money. The side walk terrace facing the square fills up fast, but you can write your name on the chalkboard waiting list and have a drink at the bar while you wait for a table.
