I went there on a Friday , just when they were opening at noon and was lucky to find a table to sit and enjoy two "pintxos". I had one anchovy with jardinera – a salsa of red and green peppers, guindillas, onion and another...one with Crema de Centolla – spider crab cream. Both of them were delicious. According to the famous Basque chef Berasategui, the best pintxo in Donostia is the one with spider cream crab and he might be just right.

You could taste the sea with every pintxo. They offered various pintxos with anchovies and other ingrdients. Generois toppings per pintxo. It was quite a unique experience. A place with a clear 'personality' (value proposition).

They do weird things with anchovies which shouldn’t work but do. Coconuts and anchovies? Blue Berry compot and anchovies (perhaps should be called a jamtovy) where interesting and delicious, as the sharpness of pickled anchovies cut through the sweet topping. Interesting and yummy.

Great time, wonderful and authentic place. If you like anchovies, this will be heaven for you but the chipirones and the crab pinchos are also wonderful. Service is quick and friendly. Value for money is excellent considering the quality of the product.

We went to Txepetxa after already filling ourselves with beer and pintxos elsewhere. All I can say is what a place. The anchovies are on another level. In particular the salted and urchin anchovies were perfect. Given how famous this place is, the prices are...also amazing. We had two pintxos, a beer and a wine for €8. This is easily the best value place I have ever eaten in. We are going to be back for our next two days in San Sebastian. Staff were also amazing and friendlyMore

This was the first pintxos bar we went into and nowhere else even came close to the quality and taste. Yes, you need to like anchoas, but this place is just exceptional. top of the top - anchoas with sea urchin roe. Gone to heaven......Their gilda is by far the best as well.More

Do ask. We do not speak Spanish and we could somehow manage, even without an English menu. In most places, there will be someone who can communicate with you in English.

As everybody says, go there at early hours and avoid peak time, such as after 20.30. In any case, if there are already many people, just ask the people inside how to manage to have something, as they are usually very kind... More
