Bustling Galician spot with standout octopus and classic tapas, good value by the menu, but frequent complaints about cash-only policy, billing errors, and occasional rude service—go for the food, verify prices, bring cash.
Restaurante Ondiñas Do Mendo delivers strong food quality anchored by exceptional Galician octopus and classic seafood, but inconsistent execution and uneven service prevent a higher grade. The lively neighborhood tasca atmosphere and generous portions appeal to regulars and casual diners, though recent operational friction—cash-only policies, billing concerns, and price creep—temper the overall value proposition. Worth visiting for the pulpo and Galician classics, but manage expectations around consistency and service variability.
One caveat: Cash-only policy not always stated upfront; several guests had to find ATMs
