This tapas bar was a great find. We were walking down the road near our hotel when we found this little jewel. We entered the restaurant not knowing what to expect. The waitress approached us, wondering what we wanted. We asked for the menu, to which she responded that the chef would be right with us. The chef, also the owner of the place, recited the list of things he could prepare. We had no idea what any of them meant. I explained to him that we were tourists and not familiar with the local cuisine. He immediately offered to give us samples of typical dishes in small portions called tapas.
Most of the tapas, as well as the bottle of wine we sampled, were homemade. The list included croquetas de pollo (chicken fritters/croquettes), tuna turnovers, two kinds of Manchego cheese (dry and soft), chorizo, Iberian ham, paté fuá with lima beans, olives, butifarra (white spicy sausage), and lomo ham. We were incredibly impressed with the food, but feared what all of that was going to cost. To our surprise, it was 17 euros. This is the best way to sample delicious local dishes without going broke! I highly recommend a visit to this place, which is in the city, but off the tourist-trap area.
