Good, simple food, a welcoming atmosphere and a warm ochre-washed space collide in one of the most popular dining spots in town, just off the main plaza. Choose from, say, grilled herreño cheese with honey, papas arrugadas dipped in mojo and meaty mains like pork tenderloin in pepper sauce, and wash it all down with El Hierro wines.
