Premise: they have 100 "montaditos" which are like tiny sandwiches, and you write down which ones you want on a slip of paper, give it to the cashier, and there is your food! They price very fairly, with Mondays even having all montaditos for 50 cents. The tapas-esque Spanish cuisine really shines in this modern twist. By the way, this is a chain and therefore is also more "reliable" if you are unsure about the restaurant quality around the rest of Santiago. Or, if you were like me still on American time, this place is open even during "siesta."

Pestiscos do Cardeal is a tapas restaurant in old town Santiago de Compostella. It conveniently…read moreopens for dinner at 7:00 p.m. rather than the customary 8:00 p.m. Spanish dinner hour. The menu is full of temping items. Be aware that each tapas item portion is sizable enough for sharing. (We had tapas in Barcelona where a selection was an individual serving. Perhaps the Catalonian and Galician ways with tapas differ.) I think three selections here would be sufficient for two people. The menu is in Spanish. One of the waiters could interpret some of the selections, but even a limited ability to read and order in Spanish was a definite plus. We ordered bread (Plato de Pan), Flauta Lomo con Queso, Flauta Bacon-Queso, Tapa de Chorizo Ibérico, Tapa de Jamón Ibérico and Huevos a la Cazuela. This order was delicious! But, it turned out to be a feast and would have been enough for four persons. Still, it was quite reasonably priced at about 33 Euro. The Huevos a la Cazuela was the most interesting. It is what I would describe as a skillet dish or a casserole with a baked egg on top. Very shareable or nearly a meal in itself! The Flauta in Spain is a sandwich made on a thin baguette. (Similar to, but shorter than a Bocadilla.) A Spanish Flauta is a sandwich, not the same as a Flauta in Mexican cuisine. Arriving at 7:00 p.m.there was lots of seating. By the time we left, the restaurant was quite full. Highly recommended, but come early!

My girlfriend got a chicken bocadillo (hold the mayonnaise of course...Spaniards like themselves some mayonesa!). It was freshly grilled on a great French roll. I had the simple grilled cheese and ham sandwich. It was simple and well executed. I get them a lot for a snack because they are hard to mess up and remind me of childhood. In the United States I don't eat much meat. But, that is an exercise in futility here in Spain. I've thrown it out the window while in Spain. I just deal with the GI discomfort.

I would not recommend to anyone, I would rather have paid more and have a decent dinner. The food was pretty bad, we had some chips and I can not say they were fridge was even worst. We ask for a chicken sandwich, which was the only decent thing we got a sandwich that was flooded with mayonnaise. Pretty bad and alhtough it's cheap, it doesnt mean they have to give you a quality service that bad. And to add to the waitresses who were there do not pay much attention and were not very nice.
