In the south, we believe that this is where it all began. As far back as my Dad can remember, Maty's was the first that sold tapa and barbecue in this area. A stall with a counter, a bench to seat customers who want to feast on their beef tapa.
Today, the Maty's he has always known has one branch right across it, one more branch less than a hundred meters away, and a few more branches around the south. They continue to be popular not just for their tapa, but also for their pork barbecue.
Dry, a bit flaky and dark in color, their tapa tastes just right - of salt, pepper and other simple spices and condiments. The standard meal consists of a small plate of tapa, fried rice, sunny side up egg and a cup of broth.
Their barbecue also tastes very simple - no sweet, overpowering basting sauce to mask the flavor of the meat. Their barbecue's taste is so versatile (if I may use that term to describe food) that we pair it with practically anything. We even order and buy in bulk for parties at home or as food to share in gatherings. read more
