A truly traditional place in the city. Family-run and the owners could not be friendlier or more accommodating. They took time to explain dishes which we were not familiar with like Migas. It is bread crumbs cooked in lamb fat as a base for grapes and chunks of ham, all topped with a fried egg. It is a meal which was eaten by workers who performed hard labor and had very little money to spend on food. The dish is large and can be shared. The flavors burst with every bite. It was addictive.
The longaniza and chorizo are beyond words to describe their flavor intensity.
Two specialties need to be highlighted. The ternasco asado (braised lamb shoulder) and borrajas con almedas (a green vegetable grown only in this region cooked with clams)..I have eaten lamb in hundreds of restaurants and nothing can compare with the tenderness and intense flavors of this dish.
If you visit Zaragoza and miss this restaurant, you will have missed one of the great food experiences of your life. Two people can eat for about $25 pp and have an exquisite culinary experience. read more
