Frommer's Review

This classic tapas hangout is among the most popular in Lavapiés, and in summer its terrace -- one of many in lively Argumosa street -- draws animated crowds of habitués and visitors. On Sundays, when the nearby Rastro market is in full swing, it's packed to the gills. Atmosphere aside, the inventive and bargain-priced range of tidbits you get with your caña of beer or chato of wine is something else. Bacalao (salt cod), mojama (salted tuna), cecina (jerked beef), migas (fried bread crumbs), morcilla patatera (traditional blood sausage), and homemade pâtés line its comprehensive repertoire. On winter evenings recorded blues and jazz classics enliven the indoor lounge/bar.
