“Un bar - restaurante en un pequeño pueblo de la Alcarria,de la Mancha Alta conquense,donde prima la amabilidad ,la calidez,el encanto y la calidad de la comida. Comimos , Pisto con huevo frito,de ¡ 10! El tomate casero ,casero, y el huevo frito con su puntilla. De segundo ,lomo a la plancha con patatas fritas en aceite limpio,se nota la diferencia. Tienen hasta cerveza sin gluten. Y ahora paso a la parte de la calidez humana,de Vega,la dueña. Que ,nos atendió con un cariño tremendo. Iba buscando informacion sobre mi familia paterna,me ayudaron ,tanto ella como los parroquianos. ¡ Volveremos,Viva Barajas y los barajeños!”

“He ido a comer hoy a Este bar. Este sitio es espectacular, Con una comida super rica y con Vega, la Rengente, muy amable y cariñosa en el trato. El pisto muy bueno, y yo le he pedido con 2 huevos y me los ha puesto. Igual que en Rock FM con el Pirata y su Banda, con un par de huevos, y con actitud para sacar tus ganas de Rock y mucha diversión y muchas risas como hemos compartido con Vega hoy. Muchas gracias a Vega por la comida y al Pirata y su Banda por alimentar nuestras ganas de Rock día tras día!!”
