A great place to have a few drinks with your amigos and savor specialities such as chamorro, tortilla española or filete en su jugo. Do try the chorizo a la sidra. Noisy and lively!!

Bustling, vibrant joint that seems to be mainly locals. I was there on a Friday and it was a bunch of friends and family embracing each other as they came in to enjoy the food and drinks. Service is also super friendly and attentive. I saw the chamarro on New York Times and it did not disappoint. It was rich, flavourful, and fell off the bone.

As all reviews says, Chamorro was super yummy. Other tapas like Tortilla espagnol, chorizo, pulpo, and cheese were all wonderful too.

This is a real authentic old fashion cantina! But don’t get me wrong, the food is one of the best I ever tried in my life. The attention from the staff is very good. The taste of the food is just like the old good times. I tried to taste everything I could, was not an easy task but my favorite was lengua a la mexicana and the chorizo a la sidra. This place is a must!
