"Absolutely delicious traditional cuisine, if you're going anywhere near here its definitely worth a small detour, you won't be disappointed."

"Si vas de Madrid (u otro sitio) por la A4 dirección Andalucía, después de pasar Despeñaperros está la población de Guarroman. Merece la pena salir 200 metros de la autovía y enseguida está este restaurante donde major se come en la ruta. La cocina tiene una premiums encía de productos frescos, de cercanía y sobre todo cocinados para que destaquen los sabores tradicionales. Mi recomendación: olvídate de las grandes áreas de servicio y entra aquí, ya verás"

"Very good atmosphere. However, the plates could have been served hot to keep the food as the chef intended."

"We stopped at this restaurant when we drove from Malaga to Madrid. Right at the middle point. Traditional Spanish restaurant, delicious food, attentive service, and they serve lunch starting at 12:30pm! We have a toddler with us, so this worked out fantastically."

"Viajamos de Cordoba a Toledo y paramos en Guarroman a comer y este restaurante nos sorprendió muchísimo, nada más entrar ya huele que alimenta… Nosotros pedimos de entrante un tomate aliñado con sal y aceite que ha sido de lo mejor que he comido, de primero una sopa de ajo con huevo, de segundo un entrecot de buey y de postre tocino de cielo casero que estaba para subir al cielo jajajja El dueño (supongo que es el dueño) tiene una actitud un poco altiva, no me sentí cómoda cuando se dirigió a nuestra mesa."

"Camino de Madrid paramos en este asador para comer y al entrar en el comedor nos sorprendió y gustó la decoración taurina con bastante solera. Comimos tres personas, dos elegimos menú del día con buena lista de platos a elegir y la comida muy buena con platos contundentes, y una tercera eligió las chuletillas de cordero que estaban exquisitas. El personal, a pesar de algunas reseñas leídas por aquí, en nuestro caso muy correcto y amable tanto el camarero que nos recibió, como la camarera que nos atendió. Un buen lugar pintoresco y con buena comida para hacer una parada."
