This hip neighborhood spot succeeds for the same reason the team’s other two venues (Pubbelly and Pubbelly Sushi) have prospered: chef-driven, value-friendly food and drinks in a convivial and casual environment. Like a great actor, Barceloneta doesn’t strain to achieve authenticity but reflects real Spanish cuisine through its own natural perspective. “Mercat” selections include Spanish […]
This tapas and wine bar shares a small, slightly seedy shopping center with a hair salon and a tiny gym that promises personal training at discount prices. That makes it seem all the more like a hidden gem, a personal find, one of those so-called secret places that people whisper about to their friends, as […]

Across […]

Upon entering La Taberna Giralda, it appears to be more wine shop than dining establishment, as wooden crates and cardboard cases filled with mostly South American bottles take up the restaurant’s entranceway. Like stage props, they provide the requisite setting and mood – that of a quaintly cluttered, Old World bistro. The atmosphere, in fact, […]
Big portions, tasty fare, inexpensive prices — is it any wonder the lines are so long?
