What to Order
Tortilla Española
This classic Spanish potato and egg omelet is perfectly cooked and full of flavor, a true taste of Spain.
"The Spanish tortilla is a standout—perfectly cooked and full of flavor."
Alvaro Reis
Pintxo de Matrimonio
A memorable bite featuring the saltiness of anchovy combined with soft bread, so good you might order it twice.
"The standout for us was the Pintxo de Matrimonio; the saltiness of the anchovy combined with the soft bread made for a particularly memorable bite."
Mandy Sam

Pan con Tomate
A simple yet incredibly flavorful dish of bread with tomato, praised for its freshness and perfect execution.
"The Pan con Tomate, though simple, was very flavorful, and we appreciated its freshness."
Mandy Sam
Basque Cheesecake
A highly recommended dessert, often taken to-go because diners are too full to finish it on the spot but don't want to miss out.
"we took the basque cheesecake to go, because we were too full, but didn’t want to miss out."
