It's well worth squeezing in to sample the hearty bargain fare at this a small and friendly watering (and eating) hole in the generally pricey Cava Baja. As in any Castilian locale worth its salt, the specialties here range from a full-bodied
cocido to a variety of roasts, especially lamb. Other prime
raciones to enjoy include
croquetas (croquettes),
albóndigas (meatballs), and
champiñones al cabrales (mushrooms cooked with strong blue Asturian cheese). The comprehensive wine list covers Riojas, Ribera del Dueros, and Albariños by the glass or bottle.
