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.
