Rincon de Pepe, a bar and grill known for its vinos and tapas, offers a great dining experience. The owner, Mr. Pepe, and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful in guiding customers through the menu choices. They even use an IPad to display pictures of the food, adding a modern touch to the restaurant.
Don’t hesitate to stop over and have a meal at Pepe’s. The tomato with cheese is delicious (which I could have some again) and the different croquettas were nice as well.

A great place to eat. Mr. Pepe the owner and the staf are very friendly. They help you choose something from the menu and show the picture of the food on an IPad. So modern. The food is great and tasty. I tried the berenjas con miel y queso. Good taste. And the solomillo was also tasty. The wiens are very good. We recommand this place. Good food, food wines for fine prices. At the end mr. Pepe gave us a free herbal liquor and a borrel of water, because we were travelling Around. So friendly of him.

Granada is known for tapas but a lot of it is very ordinary. Rincon de Pepe by contrast was one of the best we experienced. Genuine locally cooked fare in a friendly bar fall of locals...what more could you want!

Best restaurant for me in Alcala la Real. Not too large inside but plenty of room outside. Food here is of a higher quality than the standard fare found elsewhere. Recommended place to dine.

Beautiful tapas, tasty and different choices to mainstream tapas. The prawns were divine as was the leek rolls. Definitely the best meal in Alcala la Real.

Free tapas excellent quality. Excellent service. Outside dining off of main road so relatively quiet and car free

One of the best bars in town, the food (including free tapas) is more elaborate and tasty than the local average. Good selection of wines. It is quite small so pretty crowded in the winter when there's no seating outside, but good vibe nevertheless.

Restaurant

The Asador Puerta De Alcalá is a fantastic eatery located at a petrol station. It offers an excellent set menu called "menu del dia" that includes three courses, bread, and a drink for the reasonable price of 12 units of currency. This restaurant is always bustling during lunchtime due to its generous portion sizes, extensive menu options, and high-quality cuisine. The service is efficient and friendly, ensuring a quick dining experience.
Unbelievable professionals... the restaurant is quite large, but it fills up quickly even during lunch and dinner and it's hard to find a seat at the table. The restaurant is located in a strategically good place. Shell pump on the main road, parking for trucks as well as a large parking lot for small trucks and motorcycles. Everyone who is traveling in this part of Spain knows and stops by here. The food is of good quality, well prepared, and even better served. All this, along with good prices, is the reason why they are very frequented by both tourists and passers-by, as well as locals. All recommendations .

Normally go in most Saturdays for Bacon and eggs with a friend. Last week the cost for 2 bacon and eggs was 10euro. Today it was 17euros. 70% increase in a week. Wow. The guy behind the bar was miserable. I had to leave the money on the bar as he walked away from me. The girl waitresses were pleasant and helpful as usual. Disappointed. Never had a problem in there before.

Wednesday lunchtime, reserved table for a friends 65th birthday. Very busy and nicely decorated, staff initially attentive and broght drinks promptly as we awaited all the attendees. Bar area buzzing and the front part of the restaurant was fairly full. I had very nice andalucian salmorejo but there were 2 odd bits of bone in it, other orders included macaroni bolognese which wasn't that hot but very large. I followed with escalope which was nice looking but totally dried out, the dogs enjoyed a treat when we got home. Prices were good but service went a bit odd half way through as they were serving 2nd course before they cleared the first course empty plates. Overall a mixed experience, not sure we will be repeating as the staff did seem a bit overwhelmed.

Really really enjoyed this place. Went on a Saturday night. Had to eat inside due to how busy it was, but wasn't a problem. The food was lovely. We had several dishes between us all, each was fantastic. But more importantly was the service. We were greeted from start to finish with a smile from the young lady who was to be our waitress. Will definitely be going back really soon to try again. Thanks bar tipi tapa

Italian restaurant
The dining experience at Restaurante Dos Soles is delightful. Arriving just after 8.00pm may require a short wait for the chef, but it's well worth it. The entrecote dish is cooked to perfection and the spaghetti with prawns offers incredible value for money. Another dish to try is the beef topped with cheese. The restaurant provides professional service and a touch of humor from the owner, ensuring an enjoyable visit every time.
Amazing pasta! This place is worth a detour. The food is really really good, and the staff is super friendly. Can't recommend it enough. Also, very accommodating to allergies. Comida increíble! Muchas gracias!

Lovely meal all 3 of us had. Got there just after 8.00pm so had to wait a little while for the chef to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I'd a lovely entrecote dish, cooked to perfection. We also had a spaghetti dish with prawns which was unbelievable value for money. And the 3rd dish was a beef dish with cheese over the top. Will definitely be going back again, soon. Went back a few days later for evening meal. This time there was 4 of us. And we where met with the same level of professional service and humour from the owner. The food was again perfect. Will definitely be back again
