no reservations so you may wait in line. Grab a bottle of wine from Swirl and hang outside while you wait for a table at this intimate spanish restaurant. The grilled Calamari is wonderful. I also love the Calderetta stew and they are well know for their paella. Don't miss the garlic spread for the bread. a couple blocks away from your stay.
