(12/10/2016) We were taken here as part of a group tour as a chance to experience Spanish "daily life," or at least the tapa experience. It wasn't quite the standing around boozing in a crush of nighttime revelers, but it was a very good variety of dishes in a cozy, eclectic cafe. People were very friendly and genuine, if not the most experienced or professional of staff, but the welcomness made up for it. Best of our dishes was the Berenjenas fritas con miel de caña (Crispy Eggplant with Molasses) and the Manitas de Cerdo (Pig's Trotters in Garlic Sauce). I've never had eggplant like this, it was shaved into strips, floured and deep-fried crisp, into almost nothingness, just an ethereal essence of eggplant, a little bittersweetness from the molasses accenting the savory dish. Really quite interesting. The Pig's Trotters were braised in a thick, flavorful, black pepper-flecked sauce, enourmous, tender, meaty and full of chewy cartilage. Our large group had basically the whole place, it was too early for eating Spanish time (it was noon). We had a leisurely time eating and socializing, could get used to this. read more
