APPETIZERS
 |
| Huevos Estrellados P195 |
"crushed eggs", a classic spanish snack with a local twist. Breakfast fries with deliciously sweet and salty tapa topped with egg. Fave!
 |
| Las Fritas P205 |
Selection of crisps with truffle sauce. This is a bowl of potato and sweet potato chips infused with truffle oil and served with a dip. I was addicted to this appetizer, particularly the sweet potato, because of its nice crisp plus the fact that it's our classic, go-to snack, only healthier.
 |
| Croquestas de Queso P195 |
Croquettes with bechamel and cheese filling. What I liked about this? Why the cheese, of course. It may not be the gooey, sharp cheese, but this means that the taste is just right and not at all salty.
 |
| Montadito de Mediterraneo P185 |
Vegetarian diet on a crispy, baguette slice.
 |
| Ensalada Asiatica P205 |
Red cabbage, romaine lettuce, mango, queso de bola, crispy fish, vinaigrette dressing. Farm to table fresh salad that I wouldn't mind eating various times if I ever go on a diet.
PASTAS
 |
| Bolonesa de Casa P280 |
Classic Boloñesa sauce slow cooked for over 5 hours.
 |
| Gambas (Penne + Olivas) P330 |
Olive oil, fresh prawns, spanish smoked paprika, garlic. This tomato based pasta is perfect for those looking for a little kick in their meal. The paprika was able to give it a level of spiciness that tickles the tip of the tongue. Even someone who doesn't love spicy food (like me) will be able to appreciate that part.
 |
| Tapastalog (Farfalle) P290 |
Tapa + Pasta + Egg. We all loved this pasta because of the mild sweetness that is a bit new to a pasta dish, but not at all weird.

Crispy dilis, smoked fish, parmesan. I'm a fan of this dish mainly because I loved having to chew every piece of that crispy, delightfully addicting tiny fish.
As already mentioned, all their pastas are al dente, guaranteeing the filling but guilt-free feeling in every bowl. We've shared a few of their pastas, but in the end I didn't feel bad for everything we ate, and I surely felt like I wasn't eating carbs. they also have items available in Vegan option.
DESSERT
 |
| Trufa Cookie P120 |
DRINKS
 |
| La Playa P160 |
Mango, coconut, quinoa.
 |
| El Sol P160 |
Lemon, Mint, Lychee. I'm glad I chose this drink. It tasted like an infused water, light and not too sweet. It's perfect for those who want something other than water but doesn't want to go overboard. It's in that spot between water and any sugary drink.
 |
| Mango Zumo Con Tubo P130 |
This simple, quiet bar is the perfect place to wind down and enjoy a sip of wine with a forkful of pasta made with love, forget about all the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
