    We enjoyed the jamon with chorizo, two cheeses (manchego, and a spicy one), patatas bravas (with extra garlic), and the octopus. Then we shared the chocolate olive oil cake for dessert. Also we had glasses of Temranillo and a red blend. The food was outstanding, the presentation beautiful. We are both slender people, and the 4 tapas plus dessert was plenty for us -- thanks to a generous serving of the delicious potatoes. This is a wonderful place. We should come here more often.
