"There’s a good chance that La Vasca’s entire business model is built on dad word of mouth. The only reason we even know about this tiny Spanish restaurant in a strip mall is thanks to the father of one of our writers. And, indeed, we were the only non-dads here during lunch. This makes sense. The food is confusingly affordable, really good, and if you call them 24 hours in advance, you can order a whole cochinillo they’ll chop up tableside. Inducting your dad into the secret fatherly society of La Vasa will be the best gift you ever give him." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
