💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for the 'pescaíto frito' of the day instead of ordering a fixed menu item to get the freshest selection.
- Order your wine by the glass before sitting down, as many tables are small and seating is tight.
- Expect a casual atmosphere where you might share a single large plate of grilled fish with your dining companions.
