It was rush hour on a busy day and the place was packed. However they help us to find a table and have food ready withing 10 minutes of ordering. Good price and quality. Recommended.

This is a busy but large roadside cafe just north of Albacete, on the main Murcia/Alicante road to Madrid. No table service so order at the bar. Very clean toilets. Plenty of parking available.

For a quick stop and go sandwich place conveniently located on the highway this place is amazing. Its not easy to find a place by the road that makes honest good quality sandwiches. Try the lomo-queso-pimientos. Superb
