They have a not very extensive menu, which I think is super successful, with about 3 or 4 starters, 4 or 5 different types of ceviches, a couple of sandwiches and 3 or 4 main dishes (more or less). They also have a couple of homemade desserts. I cannot comment on the ceviches because I don't like them, but of the rest of the dishes I will have tried more or less half and they seem to me all of 10 !! It is street food but of a high quality, very tasty and well prepared, with generous portions. For both of us we had enough with 1 starter and two main ones, we also had room for dessert (the lemon pie seems spectacular to me ). The nachos surprised me a lot, on the one hand come the tortilla chips and on the other the sauce that is spectacular. I think the price is very correct for the quality they offer.
The restaurant is small but you can tell that it is set up with a lot of love (just like the food). Now, because of the Covid, they do not occupy all the tables to be able to respect distances, which is very appreciated. I find the service very attentive and fast. In short, I really like this restaurant, in my opinion the best in its style in Gracia and surely in all of Barcelona. For me, the only downside is that they are not open all weekend and due to schedules I cannot go as many times as I want ... One suggestion would be that in the lunch menu there should be some starter that was not ceviche for people like me to whom we don't like it
