The croqueta institution of El Tubo — a loud, elbow-to-elbow taberna whose counter of croquetas in a dozen-plus variations (boletus, jamón, morcilla and on) is the standard against which Zaragoza measures the form. Huevos rotos and raciones back them up, but nobody leaves without ordering a round of croquetas and a caña, standing wherever a shelf of bar opens up.

Best Time
Peak tapas hours, 13:30–15:00 and 20:30–22:30; it is meant to be crowded.
