Dalí

This festive restaurant is noisy and inconvenient, accepts only limited reservations, and still fills nightly with people cheerfully waiting for a table. The payoff is authentic tapas -- little plates of hot or cold creations that burst with flavor. Entrees include excellent paella, but most diners come with friends and explore the tapas offerings. Each is enough for three or four people to have a good-sized taste. They include patatas ali-oli (garlic potatoes), albóndigas de salmón (salmon balls with caper sauce), and lomito al cabrales (pork tenderloin with blue cheese), plus monthly specials. The helpful staff sometimes seems rushed but supplies plenty of bread for sopping up juices and sangria for washing it all down. Finish with "ubiquitous flan" or luscious tarta de chocolates.
