El Chiringuito Gourmet - Pwllheli

I traveled 25 minutes to get here only to discover that this restaurant no longer exists. I was really looking forward to trying it.

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic, serving truly authentic home-cooked meals. We ordered the Burritos with Chile con carne and BBQ pork (Carnitas), both of which were incredibly flavorful. The Patatas Bravas were a heavenly dish, and the ham croquettes were the best I've ever had. The husband and wife who welcomed us were lovely. Overall, I was blown away by the experience and wish I lived closer so I could order from here more often.

This restaurant was a fantastic find! The Argentinian empanadas with beef were the best I have ever had in Wales. The pastry crust was even better than my own homemade version. They also offer the best lamb pasties in the UK - definitely a must-try! The patacones were delicious, featuring green plantains fried to perfection and topped with your choice of meat or pork, rice, cheese, guacamole, jalapeños, and chimichurri coleslaw. I can't wait to come back and try their paella next time.

TLDR: Amazing Latin American food, first class service, massive portions at affordable prices! I cannot recommend this place enough!Day 1: I was so glad my online search for highly rated food brought me here! I messaged the owners on Facebook to check that they were open when I planned to come (on a bank holiday weekend) and had the seabass I so greatly desired. They answered very promptly and were very accommodating! 5 star customer service! Husband had a very LARGE and filling carnitas burrito which he has dubbed the best that he's had. We shared lamb Empanadas which were GORGEOUS and the creme de la creme for me was the fried seabass with plantains on a bed of coconut rice and some guac. The seabass was FRESH and fried to PERFECTION! It was also truly MASSIVE, my picture does not do it justice I'm afraid. It was so massive they couldn't close the box! I kept sighing with happiness with each bite! I'm a true fish lover and I love this to bits! The fried plantain (Tostones) was also the best I've had and the guac was soooo fresh! I honestly don't usually fancy guac but I ate all of this up. To those reading, if you want the seabass it might be worth checking with them in advance on Facebook messenger if they have it so they can prepare it for you in advance.Update: I just realised they made a new menu and the seabass was from an old menu! They were so accommodating and made it for me anyway that's really touching Day 2: The food was so good we decided to go back the next day! This time it was quieter so we were able to eat at the small dining section (counter with high stools). Hubbie and I both had the Pork Milanesa and OMG was it DELICIOUS and MASSIVE! The guac and salsa was so fresh and delicious! Ate every last bit of it! Also really loved the chips! You can tell its fresh and not made from frozen. To be honest the meal was so big I had about half of it and brought the other half home and had two very filling meals!I would definitely come back when I'm next back in North Wales. Thank you so much Diego and wife for your first class service and food!To the people of Pwllhelli: Please know how blessed you are and I'm very jealous of you to be able to visit this fine establishment at your leisure! Husband and I agreed that if we lived in Pwllhelli we would eat here every week and gain a significant amount of weight

Huge portions at a good price.Very tasty food, I’ve been twice now, and both times were delicious. I had a pulled pork burrito the first time, which was the largest I had ever had!The second time I had Pork Milanesa, which was equally as good.Fully recommended to anyone passing by!
