This intimate eatery is decently priced and has some tasty tapas. More Basque than Spanish, expect some really tasty patatas bravas, killer breads and delicious chorizo. You can get a bottle of wine anywhere from $30, so it doesn't break the wallet. However, this is a tapas bar, so the portions are smaller, make sure to order at least 4 dishes to quench your appetite.
