We ordered 4 empanadas; 2 mushroom, 1 chicken with herb and 1 spinach, cheese and walnut. Our favorite one was mushroom. The dough was light and flaky with just the right amount of filling. The order came with 2 soft drinks or an ice tea. Take away only. The place is right next to a seating area.

They have a huge selection of empanadas, including lots of vegetarian options (one of the best vegetarian flavors? Pumpkin and Mozzarella!) I also recommend the Chicken and Herb. They also have great dessert empanadas, like the Apple Cinnamon (basically a handheld apple pie). The empanadas are really cheap, I think around 1.70 Euros each. The only downside is they are cold in the case and heated after you buy them, and often they were still cold in the middle after being heated. That's the only reason they don't get five stars. I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the Gracia neighborhood and looking for a quick bite. They're open late, so check them out!

I decided on the two empanada and salad special that came with a drink and espresso at the end. Never did I imagine the salad to be HUGE! Fresh veggies, cheeses, etc. that was so so tasty. But of course the star was the empanadas! I started with a chorizo and cheese, which was flavorful and tasty. But then I bit into the leek and cheese, and I was in heaven! So buttery and flaky. Hot and piping, but the perfect temperature to enjoy it. These empanadas were actually smaller than I had imagined, so I asked the waitress to give me her favorite one which was the onion and cheese. That was very tasty too! I would've bought every single option available and bring them back with me if I could have!

A kicked-up farmers market with several rows of vendors selling produce, tapas, fish, cocktails,…read morecoffee, and specialty products. The market's natural perimeter is dotted with sit-down cafes if you prefer to have table service. Organized, good variety, good atmosphere. It is rare when a market that sells a lot of fish, does not reek of fish from a block away, so it is a very clean market and we saw evidence of constant clean-up. Delicious and impressive spot to grab a few little bites to eat your way through the market, or to bring back with a bottle of wine for your hotel picnic when you're hungry but your tired tourist bod can't bear a full service din din.

The manager/bar hostess was even colder. Barely spoke, seemed annoyed when I asked for another glass each time. As I paid my check, I asked her if I had done something to offend her in some way. She flatly so "no". Maybe avoid this place unless you're a regular? Maybe she doesn't like Americans? Plenty of others nearby that had friendly and pleasant bartenders that make you feel welcome and glad to be there.

Chalito ended up being such a good find. My friend and I stumbled across it after watching a…read moreflamenco show near La Rambla, and I'm glad we did. Chalito is a chain restaurant in Spain that specializes in Argentinian milanesas, which are thin breaded meat cutlets topped with all kinds of good stuff, and I knew I had to try one. I ordered the Milanesa Mallorquina with sobrasada, Mahón cheese, honey, and a mozzarella base, and it was absolutely delicious. The mix of savory and sweet worked so well together. I also tried a slice of my friend's serrano pizza, and that was really good too. Another thing I liked was that they offer their own special aiolis to choose from. As somebody who loves extra sauce on the side, that was a huge plus for me. The food impressed me so much that I ended up going back to a different Chalito location in Madrid just to try the sausage and chili oil pizza, and it was just as bomb. Their portions are so huge I didn't have room for dessert on either of my visits, but their cheesecake looks amazing, I'll have to grab a slice on a future visit The service was excellent, and I appreciated that they had menus in both Spanish and English. The restaurant is also very spacious, which made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. You do not really have to stress about getting a table or making reservations, which is always nice when you are traveling. Overall, Chalito is a great spot if you want a satisfying meal in Spain without all the hassle of planning ahead. I would definitely recommend it whether you are visiting or already local.
