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 habitues and visitors. On Sundays, it's packed to the gills due to the proximity to the Rastro market. Atmosphere apart, the inventive and bargain-priced range of tidbits you get with your caña of beer or chato of wine are something else. Bacalao (salt cod), mojama (salted tuna), cecina (jerked beef), migas (fried bread crumbs), morcilla patatera (traditional blood sausage), and homemade pâtés fill out its comprehensive repertoire. On winter evenings, recorded blues and jazz classics enliven the indoor lounge/bar.

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.
