El Torero (hostal El Torero) - Mérida

This is a restaurant that is more than 130 years old. It is very interesting with its homage to the art of bull fighting . The patio is quite pleasant as well. The service is OK, but it appears they are under-staffed for the quantity of customers. It is a very convenient location, at the south end of the long Roman Bridge. But the food is just average, nothing to make it special.

We visited this restaurant an evening in april. Service very friendly and extremly quick. We had some very good vine. The salad was nice. The callos was very good. The entrecote was extraordinaire. We are very happy with everything and will be back soon.

I only wanted a coffee and my friend a beer, but the waiter ignored us for ten minutes even though we were sitting on the bar. The service was overall really bad, because when we wanted to pay, he was nowhere to be found and when came back, ignored us again. However, both coffee and beer were ok.
