Bar Gitano
Bar Gitano (1302 Avenida Ashford, C-1, Condado) — Themed as a traditional Andalusian-style tasca, this extremely popular tapas bar is decorated with artwork created from Madrid bullfighting photographs. The marble bar and dark wood tables give an impression of casual elegance. The trendy crowd is always lively or borderline noisy, especially if there’s a soccer match on. Tapas include blistered padrón peppers with salt and olive oil, dates wrapped with bacon and stuffed with Valdeón cheese, chargrilled octopus, jamón Ibérico, and cocas (Spanish flatbread pizzas). You’ll also find paella and other main courses, if small plates aren’t what you had in mind. Stop by for live flamenco Sunday nights.
