“If you don’t like it, it’s your own fault”

However you look at it, La Tomaquera is “special”.

And that’s after he’s served the locals at the table next to you first, even though they arrived ten minutes later.

For lunch we try to go at least once a week to La Palmera. Mind you this is not easy since the place is an insiders favorite and therefor impossible to get in after 2 (so be early). No write ups in the tourist guides but truly a great find.
