Order This
The bomba - they invented it here. Potato ball with spicy brava sauce. The fried artichokes when in season. Grilled fish is always good. House wine to wash it down.

Know Before You Go
They invented the bomba here in 1944. The original and still the best. No menu - point at what looks good or ask. Cash only. Standing room. The queue is real. Worth the wait.
