I usually go for a quick sandwich or something I can eat on the go for lunch, just so I can maximise my time exploring. However, this tapas thing is too good to pass up, so I'm going to try and tapas as often as I can. Near the zoo is this little cafe, and I'm stopping by here on my way to the beach.
Tapas #1
Hummus - classic, beet, and piquillo pepper, with tapiocas and vegetables
I dig into the hummus first. Each pot is tasty in its own way. The classic one has that nice chickpea flavour with lots of olive oil and herbs, the pepper one has a good spice to it, and the beet one has that slight sweet but earthy flavour. The tapiocas look like plain white bread, but they're actually slightly crispy and more like wafers. They're perfect for eating with the hummus.
Tapas #2
Meat rissoles
The rissoles are really good. Nice and crispy batter with delicious meat on the inside. This is the half portion, because variety trumps quantity for me!
I'm having fun trying all sorts of different combinations but I think the pepper hummus by itself is my favourite. There's a lot of hummus to get through and the meal is surprisingly filling from the dense tapiocas. For €11.80 including a drink, that was excellent value.
