Viral Sensation: A Coruña Restaurant Shocks Diners with Unbeatable Prices and Authentic Galician Cuisine

A Coruña, Spain – A recent viral video has brought attention to Casa Manolo, a local eatery in El Burgo, near A Coruña, known for its traditional Galician fare and surprisingly low prices. Content creator Noel Horcajada shared his dining experience, initially expressing 'shock' at the bill, only to reveal it was an incredibly affordable €23.85 for two people. The restaurant operates with a unique queuing system, where patrons take a number similar to a butcher shop, indicating its high demand. Horcajada noted, 'We had number 70 and they were on 50, so imagine the demand it has.' The menu is refreshingly simple, offering only four main dishes: raxo (pork loin), salad, Spanish omelette, and homemade fries. Horcajada enthusiastically praised the quality of the food, highlighting the 'best bread in Spain' and a 'very good, very thin, slightly undercooked' Spanish omelette, noting its lack of onion. He also raved about the freshness of the salad ingredients and the delicious combination of raxo and homemade fries. 'I don't know how something so simple can be so good,' he remarked about the raxo, describing it as 'pork fried in a ton of oil with a little paprika and garlic.' The detailed breakdown of the bill showed an impressive value: water at €2.90, a small tortilla for €5.60, half a portion of raxo for €8.70, half a portion of fries for €2.45, a mixed salad for €3.00, and bread for €1.20. Horcajada specifically compared the €2.45 homemade fries to a €6 portion of frozen fries he had in Madrid, emphasizing the superior value and quality at Casa Manolo.
