Food was good but not amazing. Lots of vegan options and a lively atmosphere when I was there.

Friendly staff and delicious food. Our waiter was extremely friendly and patient and seeing that our Spanish was, to put it mildly, not great, promptly asked if we would prefer to speak English and proceeded to do an amazing job with it. We ordered the Vegan Durum and the Quesadilla Con Chorizo and both were very tasty. If you are going to order beer, the Oro was recommended to me and I can safely pass this recommendation along, but there are plenty of other options, and wine too!

Such a nice place to have a great drink and vegan food. Had a galician potatoes with delicious sauce, local craft beer and a reaaaly good tacos. Staff is super kind and helps you to make the best choice. There is a nice outside seating so you can chill on the terrace. Located in a lovely historical part of the city. And also nearby Acola hostel, so if you are a pilgrim it is a must go!

This might be our favorite place for an evening drink in Pontevedra. The vermú casero is excellent. The views and people are lovely. Especially nice during sunset. Bonus is the covered patio on hot afternoons.

I had dinner tonight at La Hormiga. It was brilliant! Almost everything is vegan, or can be. Great location in the old part of the city, lovely atmosphere, very popular. I had the enchiladas, delicious!!!
