Fantástico restaurante de carnes a la brasa ubicado en Capileira. Lugar privilegiado y muy amplio, con distintas zonas de mesas. Carne auténticamente espectacular hecha por un cocinero experto en el tema. Género maravilloso y expuesto a la vista, a un precio muy bueno. En una ciudad cualquiera el precio sería un 50% más caro perfectamente. El servicio proporcionado por la camarera y otro chico que lleva las bebidas es muy bueno y amable, no obstante precisaría más ayuda para tantas mesas, quedándose insuficiente en muchas ocasiones. Eso provoca que haya bastante gente esperando a que aparezca por esa zona del bar para pedirle algo, no dando de sí ante tal aluvión. Por lo tanto, no es una crítica a ella, todo lo contrario, es una recomendación para q los dueños le ayuden y se ayuden a si mismos ya que así el servicio sería más rápido y posiblemente habría más rotación de mesas y por tanto más ingresos. En general el sitio es magnífico.

Parada obligatoria si estás por la zona. Comida casera de verdad, raciones generosas y todo con sabor a cocina tradicional. Probamos los huevos rotos y las migas y estaban espectaculares, como hechos en casa. Ambiente tranquilo, trato cercano y precios muy correctos. Sitio perfecto para comer bien y sin prisas. Repetiremos seguro.

Restaurante muy recomendable si te gusta la comida casera. Probamos la chuleta y la barbacoa, acompañadas de patatas, y todo estaba en su punto, bien hecho y con sabor. También el salmorejo y la tarta de queso merecen mención aparte. Buen servicio, precios razonables y ambiente de toda la vida. Un mesón auténtico donde se come de lujo.

Muy recomendable su menú bastante asequible y sales bastante lleno con carnes a la brasa y platos típicos

Visitamos este lugar ayer. Pedí pollo a la parrilla y estaba riquísimo. Tuve que esperar bastante, pero el resultado valió la pena. La ensalada de la porción no estaba muy fresca, pero las papas y la carne estaban exquisitas. Buen servicio; trajeron aceite, sal, pimienta y vinagre balsámico para la ensalada. Estaba riquísima. Sin duda volveremos. Recomiendo este lugar por su deliciosa carne a la parrilla.

Went here for dinner day before trekking up Mulhacen and what a dinner! The meat was outstanding and eating outside smelling the grill in this small hill village - could hardly be better.

Service was really good and the quality of the BBQ Meat was outstanding. Definitely would recommend it for a meat feast!

Had evening dinner here with group of 10 people. Absolutely no issue with getting a table and although we speak little to no Spanish our waiter Joel was brilliant with our every need, top marks for the service. The food was great with no complaints and complimentary drinks were served after the meal, highly recommended for an evening dinner in the area.

We had an amazing evening with good food and wine in a nice atmosphere. With a very friendly and kind service from Antonio. We hope to be back

Food took a very long time but it was delicious! If you have time to share, definitely visit this place and have their menu del dia. Everytime you buy a round of drinks theyll also give you a plate of tapas

Lovely food and the waiter Antonio very helpful and friendly. They have a lovely selection of meats that are cooked on a barbecue. I recommend this restaurant 👌

Thomas Michoux Wright

Excellent. The secreto was cooked to absolute perfection, and very reasonably priced. We had ice cold beers, (4) a delicious barbecue chicken tapas, gazpacho and Plato alpujarreño and secreto on the barbecue AND dessert and it only cost us 27 euros. Very attentive service even at 4pm in the afternoon. It seems like most of the negative reviews come from people who don’t understand the language and culture.

A lovely restaurant with traditional dishes. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant and cosy. Would recommend to anyone visiting Capileira for a wonderful time.

Best food we've had in Spain. We ate here with a family of 6, and everything we had was suberb and in the end the bill was under € 10 pp. Very friendly and dedicated staff as well. Amazing

Menú completo por 14,50€ fin de semana. El local es enorme. Tiene zona de comedor y terraza con unas bonitas vistas. Son especialistas en carnes a la brasa y un punto a favor es que puedes ver como preparan la carne en el momento. Los platos estaban ricos. Yo pedí la ensalada mixta, pluma a la brasa y tarta de zanahoria. Como única pega pondría la tardanza en tomarnos nota y entre plato y plato. Teníamos una excursión y tiempo limitado para comer y andamos muy justas.

If you want to try a typical Spanish tapa that is delicious, try their Berenjenas Bañadas. They are amazing! All the food was great! We sat outside and enjoyed the smell of the barbecue in the fresh mountain air. The barbacoa was very good, but our potatoes weren’t fully cooked. Two of us waited a very long time for our food while another one in our group already had his food. The ribs were also very good. The prices are very reasonable. It seems like they need more waiters. There was only one waiter who seemed too busy for that many tables.

El lugar, podría estar mejor, la comida excelente, aunque un pequeño detalle a mejorar es la temperatura del martillo, estaba frio por dentro, la atención de Alexander muy bien, muy agradable y servicial. Empezamos mal ya que después de tomarnos el pedido nos dijeron que no había codillo, dos de nosotros habíamos pedido, cambiamos por carrilleras, al rato nos dijeron que tampoco había. Es un error bastante habitual en un restaurante, la falta de comunicación entre cocina y comedor que termina afectando al cliente, con eso y todo volveríamos con gusto, ya que la comida estaba muy bien, los precios razonables y el camarero muy amable. Gracias

Hemos comido está Semana Santa y ha sido una experiencia agridulce. La comida en líneas generales ha sido aceptable. Lo peor de todo es el mucho tiempo que hemos tenido que esperar una vez sentados. Un camarero nos trae la carta y nos pregunta que queremos beber. A partir de ahí la bebida no llegaba y tampoco nos preguntaban la comida. Reclamamos varias veces. Los camareros iban a tope no paraban. Eea claro que tenían tantos clientes que no podían atenderlos bien. Otras mesas se levantaban ellos a buscarse la bebida a la barra. No daban abasto tampoco en la cocina. Desde que nos tomaron nota de la comida hasta llegar el primer plato pasó un mundo. Y lo mismo hasta tener el segundo. Además el segundo de carne llegó con la carne fría y tuvimos que pedir que la recalentaran. Había comido aquí hace un año y me gustó. Pero en una época con tanto turismo en la Alpujarra, está claro que no se puede aceptar un número de clientes que no tienes medios para atenderlos, dado que la mayoría saldrán descontentos. Y menos mal que con el caos vivido, los camareros han sido amables.

We were seduced by the smell of the grilled meats on the terrace. The quality and pricing of the meats were commendable. However, the service was notably disappointing. The young staff exhibited rudeness and a lack of professionalism. We did not receive the sides we ordered, and instead, three incorrect meals were brought to our table. Service was slow, with staff members spending time at the gambling machine rather than attending to customers. While the food was enjoyable, the subpar service significantly detracted from the overall experience.

Hello, we visited the restaurant in January 2023. We ordered one plate of Jamon and Sausage. We had to pay 2 plates, which we did not ordered. I told that to the waitress but she told me we had one with Jamon and one with Sausage. But in their menu it only says TAPAS jamon and sausage 12 Euro and not each! Furthermore we had on the bill a bottle of water, what we did not order and it was also not served at our table! We are very angry about the visit in the Restaurant. I wrote them via Facebook and ask them for a solution, they read it, but never answered. Watch the bill before paying! It's a deception invoicing things people don't order and get. Tapas tasted okay, but at the end not 24 Euro worth. Free tapas were not served to our drinks. __________________________________ The owner contacted me and I got the money we paid too much back. Thanks! So I will change my review from one to three stars.

very bad service. we came together, and one of us never got beer or food! we paid, left, and my companion ate somewhere else. i ordered cognac and they brought me a glass of cognac with ice, although i wanted to drink it warm, to warm up. the gazpacho was tasteless, and i couldn't even eat the appetizer (eggplant), it was so tasteless. we left very sad and hungry.

Life is very slow in the Poqueria Gorge, which can take some getting used to for us Americans. Service is also typically slow, but this place took that to an extreme. I think we'd still be there today if we didn't stalk and hunt down our server. Even then, they could only "tap" credit cards from a cell phone and that didn't work. I ended up using the very last of the Euros I had in my wallet just to pay. The food was ok. I had the kid goat which was good. The croquettes were not great. The grill options did look really good (though none of us had any). My 11 year old housed his pizza (which probably saved this from getting 1 star).

Nuestra experiencia fue muy frustrante. Éramos un grupo de 6 en un viaje escolar y explicamos claramente que teníamos un horario limitado. Aun así, esperamos más de 40 minutos y solo nos sirvieron las entradas en el local. Había mucho ruido y hay poco luz en la sala, no te da apetito. Los platos principales nos los dieron finalmente en envases de plástico, muy grasientos y algunos incluso mezclados entre sí. También uno de ellos con cerdo poco hecho, lo cual nos incomodó aún más (ver en la foto). La organización del servicio fue muy pobre: un solo cuchillo para seis personas, ninguna comunicación sobre el retraso y ninguna consideración hacia nuestra situación. Cuando expresé nuestra decepción de forma tranquila, la respuesta fue minimizante y condescendiente, como si lo que estábamos viviendo no importara. Además, intenté comunicarme con claridad y respeto, pero aun así sentí que no se tomó en serio lo que decía. No se trata solo de la comida, sino del sentimiento de no ser escuchados ni respetados. Esperábamos disfrutar de una comida local antes de continuar con nuestro programa, pero salimos decepcionados y con la sensación de haber pagado por un servicio que no estuvo a la altura. No recomendable.

Visitamos este bar con mucha ilusión, porque siempre he asociado Capileira con buena comida casera, hecha con mimo y productos de la tierra. Por eso me dio mucha pena ver que esa esencia se está perdiendo. La espera fue larga, más de una hora para los platos, y cuando llegaron, la comida no reflejaba la calidad que uno espera en un lugar tan especial. Las patatas a lo pobre, que deberían ser el alma de la cocina alpujarreña, estaban sin sabor y el aceite restaba más que aportaba. Los postres, casi todos industriales, rompían con esa idea de lo auténtico que tanto enamora de esta zona. Ojalá tomen estas palabras como una crítica con cariño, porque Capileira tiene una tradición maravillosa y sería bonito que este lugar volviera a ofrecer la calidad y el corazón que siempre han hecho de la Alpujarra un sitio único para comer y disfrutar.

Never again. Service was way too long, people arrived after us were served way before. Oh and portion are small (except for the personal eating at the bar 🙄). Waste of time and money. Update : We literally came LAST week. You should be more attentive to clients instead of answering this. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

We had high hopes for a good steak, as they had many speciality cuts of beef on the menu, however, we were extremely disappointed with the steak we had ordered. It was a local breed of cow, at the highest price point and was supposed to be incredible. We had to send it back as it was practically raw, far too fatty, and full of sinew and muscle. Furthermore, it came uncut and we had to attempt to hack it up with a blunt steak knife. The steak came with the soggiest fries we had ever seen, and the most random assortment of cut veggies ("salad"). The service was very poor as it took asking about four times for a single glass of wine after sending back a very warm, corked red wine. The waitress did her best to better the situation but the chefs clearly do not know how to cook a steak! Other reviews share similar sentiments but the restaurant's owner continues to refute the claims, I would seriously not recommend this establishment!!! The smallest silver lining: after expressing our concerns, a third of the price was deducted from the final bill, but it still was not worth it...

Awful food. Honestly the worst meal we’ve ever had in Spain. Caesar salad was made with chicken nuggets!! menu said it has walnuts and almonds we found half an almond, I had a local dish that I’ve had in other restaurants and it was just greasy and lacking flavour. Only went as the only place open on a Wednesday, wish I’d not come to such a lovely village on a Wednesday.

Jakub Wach

We’ve waited for half an hour to be seated. Asked waiters few times, each time heard to wait a minute. Disaster rather than a service!

Harrison Palmer

We ordered 2 beers that never came after waiting patiently for 45 minutes. We live in a mountain town in the Rocky Mountains and are used to slower service. After watching the server bring drinks to multiple tables that were seated after us while not even glancing in our direction, we left. We went to a place next door and were served beers and complimentary tapas within a few minutes of sitting down.

Carlos Guerrero

Food was awfull from quantity to quality. Service it's worse, took 3 hours to finish our menu, not to mention we had to review our check to find out they were adding drinks to it. We wanted to see soccer and they told us they were playing it on tv but didn't work at all. There's many and way better places around, don't get confused by how the place looks, not worth it.
