We got in pretty late, about 30 minutes before they close, but the owner was happy to welcome us as…read morehis last party was departing. This is a one man show and it's amazing how much he can do at once. Very welcoming and pleasant person and environment. Everything here was €4 or less which was great for some quick eats. He has a good selection of wines and a few beers. The selection of empanadas was pretty good with a few different meats including lamb. We ordered a spicy beef (carne picante) and lamb (de ternasco) empanadas as well as pajaritos de la huerta and two drinks. He quickly got everything made and out to us. It was great to actually make everything right there in the tiny kitchen. The food was great, as most fried foods are delicious, but definitely more of a gourmet touch here. The sauce on the pajaritos was great balance to the onion. The spicy beef empanada was really good with a nice amount of heat. The lamb empanada was my favorite though, nice rich flavor that is unmistakable. This is a great place just a couple blocks from the Plaza del Pilar and it should be on your list.

Then, they offered alternatives and brought me the best jamon I have ever eaten! However, it was the mushroom dish with the egg and shrimp that had me swooning. I had a pork shop afterwards that was good and my family had many other foods as well as desserts, but that dish was out of this world great! It is the perfect place to visit when the basilica closed for the afternoon break!

It is listed as €9 for a liter jar and three glasses all together is no more than one jar. €18 is like daylight robbery and we strongly recommend any tourist to steer clear away from this cafe.
