Food was very good as a main course. Service was OK to start with then young man took over who spent more time watching one armed bandit than looking after customers. Advertised ice cream for sweet. There was none or waiter couldn't be bothered. Would I go again. Main course very good so probably yes. Reasonably priced.

La Ponderosa hands down best churros in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. Maybe the best in all of Spain. The service is great, and the churros are life changing! If you are ever in El Puerto de Santa Maria it's a 100% must stop and try place.
