Amy NYC

We loved this place and went back a few times. This staff was so friendly . Get the mushrooms , foie gras , and sirloin (solomillo ). Try txakoli (pronounced choco-lee) traditional sparkling wine .

Melankolina

Gets really crowded , but the pintxos on display are superb! Super fresh salmon , delicious hams and very nice wines .

Kevin Kearney

Don't just eat what's on the counter, order from the chalkboard menu on the wall. The solomillo (sirloin on baguette with a pepper ) is the best pinxto you'll ever eat.

Sarah Trott

The best item here is easily the grilled sirloin steak pintxos . Order with abandon. The lovee enjoyed his Amontillado (sweet sherry ).

Natalie Marioni

Hands down... the solomillo Pintxos is the #1 item on the menu. For the more adventurous, try the sea urchin . Order off the menu if you can. It's always busy and for a good reason!

Behrad Eats

The Pintxo de Solomillo or Sirloin Steak bite is the item to order here!

Andreas Cohen

One of the best dishes in the Basque region is the cod cheeks ( Kokotxas ). @CasaGandarias serves my favorite recipe #mustdo

Vicki Kolovou

Everything was exceptional. The service, the food... The special salad was magnificent on its own. The txuleta well done and the initial pintxos surprisingly different and fresh. Will be back!

johnlemon

Ubercrowded meal times. Sea urchin was tasty. The pintxos are creative and thought through. Not to miss!

Damian Bayona

Definitely order the solomillo . The sea urchin is also very good. Honestly though, everything is good.

Chris T

Delicious pintxos-some unique such duck magret with fresh peach . Many wines by glass (copa) or a sidra.

Karisa Nicholls

Tasty food & great service. High 5 to Jose, he rocked. Loved the grilled beef sirloin , grilled foie gras & Iberian cured ham croquette . Thought the duck breast brochette was over done and over priced

Sofia Papastamelos

This place has a very wide selection of pinxos. All delicious! Come during lunchtime when it's less crowded .

Jared Silverberg

Great Steak and Artichokes ! Perfect place to sit down on a Monday night when a lot of pinxtos bars are closed in the area

Elisabeth

Try the risotto ! Or just have their classic jamó n???????? warm pintxos are better than the cold ones at Gandarias!

hello_emily

It took me 3 trips till I found their true speciality: the little pintxos with bread , Jamon and 3 mushrooms with sauce all over it. GODDAMN THATS GOOD ????

Phil Nom

Lovely staff . Ask for them to keep tabs of your bill if you're planning to hang around. Anything grilled is amazing. Great value to boot.

King Kongee

The place had a great atmosphere and amazing pintxos - brochetta lomo, cordero, gambas and solomillo . Croquette jambon and foie gras were okay.

Laurie Bennett

A sensation. Eat the solomillo here, drink the Ribera del duero, and revel in the amazingness of life.

AmateurConcierge

Classic feeling. Yea the solomillo is good, but the iberico on a toast here was my favorite

Vincent Tan

Solomillo - sirloin - is really good. Has to be ordered at the bar .

Virginia Field

Delicious pintxos - especially the solo mio, friendly staff , great atmosphere. It's one of my San Sebastian faves.

Na Carroll

Guindillas and solomillo are a must! Jaime the waiter makes everything easier. It is the best gluten free tapas bar/restaurant.

Alex Cross

Try as much tapas and pintxos as you can! They are really good! Personal are very friendly and welcome!

Ruya Bayraktar

Tapas are very good with red vine. Goat cheese and grilled sirloin steak ones were very good

Kayleigh Harrington

Get a table outside , order the solomillo (sirloin ) pimiento verde (peppers )

Pete Harmer

Quite touristy . Good selection of pintxos . Friendly staff . Duck brochettes to kill for.

Corinna P

Tasty croquettes ! And good grilled skewered pintxos . Fun chaos.

Jo M

Solomillo pintxo . You have to order it at the bar but they will shout your name when it's ready. Worth every second of the wait.

Rupert Houghton

Incredible selectio of wine by the glass. Nice pintxos and while in every tourist guide keeps up its standards.

DJ Yabis

This was my least favorite from the 8 tapas bars we visited. The food was uninspiring and so so. I don’t know why they have very high ratings actually. Go next door to Atari instead.

H K

Awesome selection of pinxtos. Try uni (urchin ), pig blood, etc

M. Scott

Foie gras (€2.95) and grilled beef sirloin (€2.80) are phenomenal

Nick Black

Excellent fresh local food, lamb chops , smoked trout .

Ben Floyd

Amazing mushrooms , crab tart great too, lovely service.

OmniWired ????

beer is really good, the place is authentic with a nice vibe. Solomillo , foie gras is not too oily

Lilly

Steak ! Steak ! Steak ! Steak ! And the pork . Hands down the single best steak of my life.

Yana T

Can be very crowdy in the evening, but pintxos are worth trying during the bar crawl

Oliver

Classic in the old town but I was a little underwhelmed compared to the other classics

Levent Akgerman

Hard to get in mess to order so enjoy accordingly! Clams , salomillo, mayo crab and salmon , anchovy and jabugo.

sesim

Solomillos is epic! Also the gambas . A good place to start your pintxos tour .

Jack Lynch

Best beef steak ever! Lovely tapas (Pinxos) and an excellent drink selection. Always go here!

Martin Lissmyr

"Don't miss the solomio. And do a little surf and turf by pairing it with the shrimp and chorizo brocheta" - Huffington Post

Muge Kuyumcuoglu

it is the only restaurant open during siestacomfortable place for family with child seat, crayons and children's menu

Osman

You can eat pincos as much as you can with traditional white wine . Dont forget to pay before leaves because nobody counting your bills.

John Marsland

Awesome wine selection by the glass. Solomillo was my fav, order it at the bar

Adelina Ong

The solomillo is fantastic. Salmon pintxo with egg n pepper is tasty too.

Nicholas Stylianakis

Try the tbone , peppers filled with crab and hake ! Amazing

mügüş
