Pata Negra Tapas Bar Review

I am confused as to how the name black foot or paw fits this establishment, but the food is too good to care about Spanish semantics. The space's au courant brick ceiling complements the colorful Spanish tiles that cover the wall behind the bar, along with rows and rows of wine bottles, like vino soldiers. Other walls are graced with Spanish prints between the oversize windows; Spanish ballads play softly in the background. However, the main attraction here is the menu; it is primarily a tapas restaurant with which you will not be disappointed. Tapas are appetizers, but many make them a full meal, which I did again by ordering three: garlic spinach with cream and Serrano ham; white beans with spinach and chorizo; and garlic chicken with hot peppers. All three were so delectable I was tempted to order more, but was dining alone. The service remains exemplary over the years. Due to the construction of the metro 4 line, which will continue for some years, this restaurant is hidden from view from the street, but is worth hunting for. There are many choices at the low end of the price range, but they also have some full meals.

About Our System

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.
