"Con la reforma las Tinajas ha dado un gran giro muy positivo. Ofrecen un plato del día y escoger platos de la carta con buenos precios una excelente calidad y raciones generosas. La atención de Ana, José Maria y Josep, no puede ser más atenta y personalizada. Me ha encantado la nueva reforma y el giro que ha tomado con novedades. Os auguro un éxito en la nueva andadura."

"Todo un descubrimiento. El sitio esta reformado hace poco tiempo y sin ser una sala grande, la terraza en el buen tiempo es la mejor opción, dentro el ambiente es muy acogedor. Sillas muy cómodas por cierto… Vamos a la comida, la cocina es muy buena, el producto es muy bueno y el servicio magnífico. Tenemos la mezcla perfecta. Y encima con precios muy razonables. La gerente, Ana es un súper agradable y una magnífica profesional. Da gusto encontrar sitios así. Buenos vinos y por poner un único pero en un sitio en el que todo es de sobresaliente. La tarta de queso es de aprobado justito. Demasiado densa y empalagosa. Lo demás… todo de 10, los boquerones al limón, las carnes, gambas plancha. Repetiremos muchas veces."

"Buena relación calidad-precio. Fuimos 11 personas, de las cuales dos pidieron ensalada y revuelto y las demás pedimos raciones para compartir. Entre cuatro personas compartimos calamares, chipirones, tiras de pollo, croquetas y patatas bravas. En general todo muy bien, de cantidad y calidad, acabamos llenos (en el escorial, a veces acabamos con hambre) y pagamos 17 euros por persona (con al menos dos bebidas por personas). Por ahora, está en mi top 5 del escorial!"
