"I had a wonderful meal at Tia Margarita last night! I ordered the paella for 4-5 people, and it was delicious. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the seasoning was spot-on, not too salty at all. The portion size was also very generous, and we all had plenty to eat. The service was excellent, and our waiter was very attentive. We will definitely be back to Tia Margarita soon"

"Restaurante de los viejos y clásicos, con precios elevados pero vale la pena. Platos normales, pensé que por los precios iban a ser platos para compartir pero no. Pedí unos cachetes de un pescado con una salsa espectacular. Se puede pedir copa de vino o vinos chicos. Con efectivo te hacen un diez por ciento de descuento para tener en cuenta"
