Frommer's Review
For a foreigner, ordering tapas can be a daunting affair. Making yourself heard above the din is one thing, and then there is the lack of written menus. The Taller de Tapas (Tapas Workshop) has been conceived to take the trouble out of tapeando. Surrounded by a pleasant decor of exposed brick and beams (or on the outside terrace), patrons sit at a table and order from a trilingual menu. The tapas are prepared in an open kitchen where there is not a microwave in sight. The owners are always on the lookout for new ingredients that will work in tapas, which means that every week there is a board of specials. The regular menus consists of dozens of tapas delights from all over Spain; marinated anchovies from L'Escala on the Costa Brava, Palamós prawns with scrambled eggs, grilled duck foie, sizzling chorizo cooked in cider: It's all here. For those that like something substantial for breakfast, Taller de Tapas does a morning tortilla menu.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
