But the chicken was so good that I have no complaints about the food. Service was mostly friendly and helpful, but ordering wine by the glass was a bit... weird. They have an amazing bottle list (though a bit overpriced, if we're being honest), but no BTG list. When I asked for one, the sommelier came out and asked what style of wine I was looking for, and then just brought something that she thought fit the profile. What she brought was fine, but I'm a bit of a wine nerd and I would've liked to see a BTG list (they told me they didn't have one... huh?!) or at least gotten a few options from the Somm so I could then pick. But nope, I just kinda felt like I had to take what she gave me. Location was beautiful and somewhat funky (mainly referring to the lighting in the entryway), though I would've liked to better understand which parts were Al Kostat and which parts were from the fancier Michelin-starred restaurant (it's all kind of intermingled). Definitely recommend it for a nice dinner and maybe some cocktails and a bottle of wine, but be aware that the BTG wine experience is pretty much dictated by whatever the sommelier chooses to bring out.

We started with a selection of olives, and I swear those are the most beautiful tasting olives I have ever eaten!

We also ordered the Spicy Chorizos, the "Coca Sepulveda" (Tuna with accoutrements), the Salad Mezclum of the House, Clams witrh white beans, and a couple of orders of the Coca Bread with Tomato. All of it was superb, and we enjoyed it with a bottle of Spanish white wine that our server recommended. Was a gorgeous, leisurely dinner that ended a fine day of touring a fine city!

You pay by the amount of tapas you enjoy. The plain sticks are one euro and the ones with a little ball was 1.5 euro. We also ordered margaritas since it was a Mexican themed restaurant. One of the best I've drank even compared to when I was in Mexico. The food was so amazing we ended up coming back the next day for lunch. The only down side is that they don't offer any WiFi, but honestly who cares cause the food is so freaking amazing. I seriously can't wait to come back to Barcelona just to eat back here!!! Hurry up and go eat there ASAP.

Like the others have said, it's an amazing deal with all the pinxtos priced at just €1 and €1.5. Drinks are cheap as well- a glass of tinto de verano was around €2. The place was pretty busy and quite small, but we managed to find a table pretty quickly since people are always coming in and out. Everyone was super friendly and they even let me behind the counter to pick my own pinxtos! My favorite was the shrimp pinxto atop some sort of creamy salad. I was a bit disappointed by the walnut dessert one, which was basically a huge glob of cream cheese with some nuts sprinkled on top.
