"Los Gallegos is one of those Spanish restaurants your tio Raimundo and his friends already know about. The kind you’d find in Galicia, where the only wine options are house red or white, hearty stews act like a relief from the rain, and octopus is king. The small dining room is lined with pastoral paintings and families eating pulpo a la gallega drenched in olive oil, paprika, and salt. They’ve got the right idea: everything with the word “gallego” or “gallega” is amazing here. Start with caldo gallego, a soup with chunks of fatty pork and white beans lounging in broth so rich it soothes chapped lips. Then move on to a big filet topped with serrano ham, melted manchego cheese, and a mushroom sauce. Los Gallegos is the perfect place to bring your family for a nice dinner, including that uncle who knows his Spanish food." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
