One of the classic old tabernas in La Latina — a dark-wood, ceramic-tiled bar on Calle de la Cava Baja with barrels mounted on the back wall and a menu that has barely changed since the 1930s: patatas bravas, boquerones en vinagre, croquetas, and the house stew. The wine list is simple and priced for the neighbourhood.
The kind of establishment that takes itself seriously without being formal — brusque service, high-quality ingredients, no frills. Busy on Sunday lunchtimes when the Rastro crowd moves here for the afternoon. No reservations; just turn up. Metro La Latina.
