    Amazing service and the food was excellent. Really enjoyed the crispy bacon (Jamon Iberico) and cider (sidre).

    One of the many pinxto places in the old town. They had an array of choices but the sea urchin…read morewasn't the classic soupy one. The others appeared to have been there awhile, a hazard of the places that aren't slinging as fast as they can make them. The few spots to stand at a high top in the street were nice as it is right across from a historic church and at the T intersection of two busy pedestrian streets. So good location but may be worth the wait elsewhere.

    Casa Vergara was the sleeper hit of our pintxo crawl, introduced by an Airbnb guide and instantly…read moreetched into memory. We ate like happy vagrants on the church steps across the way, because Atari is perpetually slammed, which it ought to be given how deftly they marry quality and price. A piece of white fish arrived lacquered in squid ink so the exterior went midnight-black while the flesh stayed pearly and perfectly moist; saffron threads perfumed the whole thing, and it sat in a sauce so impossibly good I found myself chasing every last streak with bread. A pepper stuffed with crab was light and also dotted with umami squid ink sauce. Then came a sea urchin, baked in its own shell under a light cheese gratin, the roe turning lush and custardy beneath the heat. The texture-and-flavor duet was one of those Basque-country revelations that resists translation into words and simply has to be experienced. Service was quick and good-humored despite the crush, prices were more than fair, and the whole scene (glasses clinking, plates migrating out to the steps) felt like a postcard of San Sebastián come to life. I would eat here every day if I could.
