Las tostadas tienen una relación calidad-precio difícil de mejorar. Las tostadas son muy grandes y la cantidad de jamón generosa. Lo único que mejoraría es el servicio. Creo que falta un poco de organización.

. Nice little bar to stop for a snack as you visit this gorgeous mountain region. If you are coming up the road from the town of Cazorla (manage to get through that tricky one-way system ok?) you probably need to stop here to fuel yourself up for the drive that is to come - have you seen the hairpin bends on the road ahead? :-) A very pleasant stop, I recommend it. .

Paramos en esta churrería antes de emprender el viaje de vuelta y fue todo un acierto. Nos atendieron con mucha amabilidad y atención en todo momento. Los churros estaban riquísimos… ¡tan buenos que cuando quise hacer la foto ya no quedaba ninguno! El sitio es acogedor y el trato, excelente. Sin duda, cuando volvamos por la zona, repetiremos parada aquí.

Paramos para desayunar de camino y acertamos de pleno. Las tostadas del pan del bueno y el café riquísimo. El trato y el servicio muy amable y atento. Muy simpáticos y en muy buen ambiente. A la vuelta de hacer el senderi del borosa, paramos de nuevo a comer y vaya acierto. La comida exquisita también y el trato, sobre todo de Andrés, de 10!!! Un chico ejemplar, muy simpático, agradable y gran profesional. Recomendable 100 x 100!!!

Un lugar estupendo, servicio de 10, la comida de categoría, ambiente genial! Sin duda volveremos para repetir! Un trato familiar y estupendo! Muy muy recomendable, si pasas por Burunchel no dudes en parar aquí si queréis salir con buen sabor de boca! Recomendaciones: su carne de monte, sus chuletas de cordero, el bacalao con pisto, para los peques pechuguitas caseras, no han dejado ni la muestra, como postre su tarta de queso casera y su tarta de tres chocolates! Espectacular
