Onto the next course, we had carne asasda, that was served with beans, rice, avocado, a salsa fresca, fresh cheese and maiz tortillas that were made to order. The carne was delicious, bursting with flavor of cumin and garlic. Everything else was also good. The Honduran beer, SalvaVida was enjoyable - a light lager-type beer, with a little more flavor than Corona, and a bit less sweet. The meal was very reasonably priced. I will be going back for more - I saw photos of the nacatamales and I really want to try them.

Secondly, yes we got Colombian food in Barcelona (she's Colombian). The Empanadas were great and she was thoroughly impressed. Being that it was my first time trying Colombian food I enjoyed it as well. We shared a Bandeja Paisa and it was outstanding. My favorite parts were the maduros(fried sweet plantains) and chicharrón (fried pork). We also had Colombian beer, by we were so into our food we sat at the end of our meal trying to finish them. So glad we found this place and made it a part of our trip.

We ordered the Mixed Grill for 2 and I joked my only complaint was that it didn't list it being for 4. So much food and every single grilled piece of meat was so juicy and flavorful. The cocktails were craft works of art and full of flavor. We ended up joking that we opted for a liquid dessert instead by ordering one of their tropical cocktails after dinner. Great ambiance and decor, and when we booked reservations I think through trip advisor or viator they gave us a 30% discount.

What really disappointed me was being charged $9 for a plate of French fries with an egg that tasted awful. On top of that, I was charged $3.60 for tap water, which felt excessive and unnecessary.

Here, the "buns" of the arepas are dyed colored coded to go with the specific mix you order. Sifrina = bright magenta pink sandwich pocket. Pretty freaking sweet! Wanted to point out Venezuela has its own unique version of guacamole, affectionately called Guasacaca. El Rincon carries on this tradition, and I'm so glad I was able to experience it. I met the owner, one of the very few workers that spoke English, and he explained the make up of this tasty condiment - onion, cilantro, green pepper, salt, garlic, avocado, a little bit of olive oil, and vinegar. EXCELLENT atop my arepa! The entire sandwich melded perfectly, sweet, salty and savory in every bite. The owner gentleman did a great job checking in, the service was fast and efficient, and I never felt rushed. I was really digging the vibe of this eatery, as it seemed to be a true neighborhood spot. All the locals inside, none of the touristy appeal. I recommend if you like Venezuelan food to give this restaurant a try!

We were seated at our table and noticed the cute colorful paper table mats with positive slogans for each person. As a starter, we were served chips and two sauces (a green sauce and yellow one that looked cheesy but wasn't, that was muy caliente . As far a drink we had mint tea and water. I ordered carnitas, with a side of rice. When the food arrived i noticed that it was served with corn tortillas. I thought the carnitas was a little dry and didn't have much flavor. I ended up using the yellow spicy sauce, sauce from my friend's meal to add to the carnitas to add flavor. Overall, i was full. The other ladies enjoyed there dishes and were satisfied. Being that 3 out of 4 were satisfied I would return when visiting Barcelona again. See you in 2027 to see the completion of Sagrada Familia.

It was late, we were hungry, but we still wanted to have the authentic Spanish experience, which brought us to La Caleta de Sants. The place is very tourist friendly - English menus, and friendly, English speaking staff. The food: AMAZING. I had the best cooked octopus I have ever had in my life, which came highly recommended by the server. It was tender, juicy, and so flavorful! The ceviche was some of the best I have ever had - wonderfully marinated, with generous portions of seafood. If you have no idea what to order, just ask the server, they make excellent recommendations, and with the dishes we ordered, it seems you can do no wrong no matter what you get. The place isn't very big, so seating is quite limited, and the tables are quite close to each other. Bonus: free wifi!

I'm obsessed with cachapas, so I ordered the Cachapa Mixta del Junquito and it came with chicharrones. It was fresh, sweet and lightly fried.

La Mestressa is such a great vibe and one of the defining experiences from my trip to Barcelona!…read moreHere are a few highlights: 1. The neighborhood - I stayed at the AC Hotel Sants while visiting Barcelona. The Barcelona Sants train station was adjacent to the hotel, and the property was in a walkable neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. There was also a deceptively nondescript alley right next to the hotel that I didn't explore right away. Turns out, that alley leads to a vibrant, hidden plaza (Plaça d'Osca) with restaurants and shops, where locals in the Sants neighborhood hang out. This is also where La Mestressa is located. 2. The food and drinks - I got dinner with two friends at La Mestressa one evening. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, a bottle of wine, and a wide selection of tapas, croquettes, and a couple main dishes. My personal favorites from the meal were the sangria, patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with sauce), octopus, and the salmon salad (not pictured). Each of those dishes were well-seasoned, had great textural contrast, and provided either familiar comfort (patatas bravas and octopus) or a completely new flavor experience (salmon salad). The sangria was light and refreshing. 3. The service - Our server was bilingual and provided satisfactory service. She was warm. The service was well-paced, and she attended to all of our needs as a group. 4. The ambience - As I previously mentioned, both Plaça d'Osca and La Mestressa were a whole vibe. If the terms "off the beaten path," "honeycomb hideout," "in the cut," or "rural retreat" mean anything to you, this area similarly provides a nice place to "retreat" and immerse yourself in a local neighborhood right in the heart of Spain's second largest city. It's the perfect place to drink wine and sangria and while away your evening. :)
