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.
Best Time
Arrive when they open (1pm) to avoid the queue. Or late lunch. Closes early evening. No reservations, no exceptions.
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.
