"They aim to please ... give this place a visit. They aim to please ... This unpretentious almost-right-on-the-beach restaurant certainly aims to please with its generous portions of dishes designed to appeal to the “Common Man”. After a four-hour flight I elected to go for the simplicity of a filling meal in the immediate vicinity of my hotel. I chose their Horizon burger with papas fritas, accompanied by a nice 14.5% alcohol vino tinto, and followed by a strawberry and cream ice cream sundae and a cappuccino. All for just 38 euros. My restaurant experience interests range from Michelin Star restaurants to family-owned Mom and Pop restaurants to classic bodegas and bistros. This restaurant rates due to the honesty of the cuisine (menu, preparation and presentation) and the service with a smile. I travel the world alone, and my servers cannot rely upon me being entertained by an entourage. I received good attention and was made to feel special. The food was well-prepared and was served without much waiting time. Almost all of the wines are sold by the bottle but the quality and reasonable wine prices will encourage alone-dinners to stay until the last drop is imbibed. The three-tiered burger with tomato, lettuce and fried egg was tasty albeit a bit reminiscent of frozen hamburger patties. I understand, however, that their steaks are prime Irish beef. At any rate, do give this place a try when you just need to relax, eat well and inexpensively, and not have to worry about what you are wearing or who you are seen with."

"Pax: 3 Price: €92 for beer, 2 bottles of Vina Sol, a starter, 3 mains, 2 desserts and 3 liqueurs. Found this by chance whilst looking for a restaurant close to our accommodation. Just off the golden ball roundabout but not immediately obvious if you 're not aware it 's there. It 's non-descript and at first glance you may, as I was going to, walk on. However, the in-law wanted simple fare and we sat down. It 's a basic Spanish menu serving lamb, steak, fish etc so we ordered gambas pil-pil as a starter and lamb kebab, fillet steak with pepper sauce and egg and chips (for the in-law). The gambas were succulent, tasty and very fresh with that pinky colour that gives that away. Cooked in a sea of garlic they were a dream and I could have eaten another as a main. However, better was to come. I always ask for my steak medium but poco de sangre so it still has some blood still in it. This always creates djffulties but not this place. It sounds clichéd but it was cooked to perfection and the steak knife glided through it. Complemented by a superb pepper sauce and crisp style patatas fritas, it was perfect. The sauce had a tad too much salt but that 's my preference. The lamb kebab, I was informed, had a bit too much salt as well but it was cooked perfectly as well. The egg and chips was.....egg and chips. Whisky cake and creme caramel desserts were also tasty and the iris coffee and la mumbas topped off a superb meal. We 'll definitely return but tailor the salt content a bit."
