    We celebrated our grandson's First Communion on May 2nd at Asador La Juanita. There were 32 guests, and our family and friends were delighted. From the service to the Aranzate menu, everything was exquisite: the cod with piperade, the pork tenderloin, and the cheesecake. It was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we spoke with Itxazo, the service was outstanding. She suggested improvements to the menu, which helped us tremendously in choosing the best option. The waiters were very friendly and attentive; the service was top-notch. We will definitely be back many times. Thank you so much for making that day one of the best.

    All the glowing reviews, I notice, are from many years ago. Just four months ago, I ate there and the experience couldn't have been worse. The place has become stale, the food was mediocre... and the price? Well, the price has increased, but it's not in line with the quality. The surroundings are pleasant, but everything is very poorly managed... like a case of "wanting to but failing."
