This bright and perennially busy tapas bar on Plaza Mayor has fine cathedral views if you sit outside in the plaza and a good selection of bar snacks. The menu includes a wide choice of rice dishes (for two), which come particularly recommended, as well as grilled meats and Manchegan specialities, such as sopa castellana with garlic and bread.
