It has grown from strength to strength, and is one of the most sought-after joints in the city.

Casa Moncayo was opened by Diego, Juan’s father, in Pueblo Nuevo.

Try the amazing bluefin tona cuts from Barbate, which are available in the newly added Japanese section.

With the avocados grown in the Guadiaro Valley, you can create some amazing tuna California rolls.

And then when you couple these super fresh avocados with cuts of ‘pez mantequilla’ (butterfish) and scallops for a tartare you’re on for a surefire winner!
