After visiting this place, I honestly do not understand the 1 rating below. The food was very good and the price really acceptable for sea food. Waiters are educated, know what they offer and they can provide you a nice explanation. I enjoyed the place and believe that I will come back soon. Btw seeing a hating comment from a person that obviously does not even exist is sad. Another thing which is very sad, is seeing 1 rating from a person who believes that 100 montaditos has 5 s because of their good teamwork. Yeah they have to have good teamwork, because the only thing they do is to call a name of a person who asked for food. Good job 100 montaditos!!

you’re looking for incredibly fresh fish and outstanding flavors, El Navío is an absolute must! Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection, bursting with taste, and clearly made from the freshest seafood. The service was 10/10 – attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. To top it all off, they served a mandarin sorbet that was absolutely amazing – light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and exceptional service. Can’t wait to come back!

Muy buena la comida. Servicio excelente. Tienen el detalle de ponerte la copa de vino congelada para que no se caliente. El plato de pulpo un poco escaso, la verdad. Por lo demás todo genial. Muy recomendable.

Llevo muchos años yendo con mi familia a comer a este restaurante. El servicio es rápido, profesional y amable. El local está super limpio, con cocina a la vista. Recomiendo las gambas cocidas, las gambas rebozadas, la ensaladilla rusa, la porra, el pulpo a la gallega, y cualquier pescado que comas estará muy fresco y bien hecho. Hoy he comido un calamar a la plancha que ha sido un espectáculo. No es barato, pero en mi opinión tampoco caro, porque el producto aquí es de máxima calidad y eso tiene un precio. Seguiremos visitando este restaurante.
