"Traditional tapas get an upgrade at this all-day tapas bar, featuring more pig legs than you can count dangling above the bar. You should start with one or even two of their five kinds of brusquettas, like the blanca with gorgonzola, mascarpone cheese, and walnuts. Then glance at the chalkboard with the day’s specials before committing to the rest of your selections. Our picks: the smoked queso au gratin—a glorious mess that pairs well with a cold cerveza, and the creamy salmorejo and hamcroquetas,if you’re intent on continuing your tapas marathon. Get there before 5pm when the wait is usually shorter, but be prepared to stand for part of your meal in true tapas bar style because it gets pretty tight." - Aileen Weintraub
