- Why go?
- El Río feels like a proper local restaurant rather than somewhere built around a trend. The menu is broad enough to keep everyone happy, from fish and seafood to steaks, duck and classic Spanish dishes. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with both a traditional dining room and outdoor seating in the heart of Los Boliches.
- What to order
- The steak on the hot stone is one of the signatures, while the steak tartare is prepared at the table. Other good options include the duck with orange, Chateaubriand, oxtail and the catch of the day. If your parents like having plenty of options, this menu has them covered.
- Good to know
- El Río is now in its second generation. Antonio and Rosario recently handed the restaurant over to their nephew Ismael and his business partner Nelson, who are continuing the restaurant with the same focus on good produce, service and hospitality.
- Open
- Monday to Saturday. Closed Sunday. Check current opening hours before you go.
- Verdict
- Classic Los Boliches, generous plates and the sort of place where your parents will already be asking when you're coming back.
