Tapas Café

Top choice in Puerto Rico


The food and atmosphere are both great at this cafe, which boasts one of the island's best tiled interiors. Flamenco drifts under the high ceilings, and bullfighting paraphernalia adorns the walls, while the kitchen turns out wondrous Spanish-influenced fare including albondigas (meatballs), queso manchego (Manchego cheese), tortilla española (Spanish omelet) and jamon serrano (cured Spanish ham).

It's all scrumptious, imaginative and memorable, and the wine list is decent.
