The bife de chorizo was excellent however, we both ordered them, cooked perfectly medium rare, well seasoned, not fatty. Accompanied by a parrillada de verduras or grilled vegetable platter that was excellent; and the papa rellena which was described as a foil-baked potato stuffed with a leek and cream cheese filling – the filling was a bit muddled, but the potato was good once that was scraped to the side – next time I’d go with the straightforward butter and herb topped papa de plomo – a potato of lead – I suppose that’s a way of saying it was baked, wrapped in tin foil….
