Xukela

Fodor's Review:

Amid bright lighting and a vivid palette of greens and crimsons, chef Santiago Ruíz Bombin creates some of the tastiest and most creative pintxos (miniature cuisine on toothpicks) in all of tapas-dom. The tavern has the general feel of a small library: lined with books and little reading nooks.
