Taberna Txakolina

La Latina & Lavapiés


Taberna Txakolina calls its pintxos ‘high cuisine in miniature’. If ordering tapas makes you nervous, it couldn’t be easier here – they’re lined up on the bar, Basque style, in all their glory, and you can simply point. Whatever you order, wash it down with a txacoli, a sharp Basque white.
