Frommer's Review
This place is a real slice of local life and one of the best tapas bars in the city. It looks like a slightly modernized version of a taverna, and its house specialty is bombas, deep-fried balls of fluffy mashed potato served with a spicy brava sauce. Other tapas include succulent mussels, either steamed or with a marinara sauce, giant grilled prawns, plates of paper-thin serrano ham, and small chunks of deep fried calamari called rabas. Needless to say, when washed down with a jug of their excellent in-house sangria, this is a highly satisfying meal-in-itself.

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.
