This no-frills place is much loved by locals for its great value, speedy service and warm atmosphere. Up a narrow lane in the new town, this sociable bar could turn out to be the Castilla-La Mancha eating experience that lingers longest in your memory. Try the excellent-value menú del día. Go early to beat the crowds.
One dish you won't want to miss is the pisto manchego (usually served as a 'starter'), a tangy ratatouille-like stew topped with a fried egg. Take your phrase book along, as the staff speak little English.
