The name means "sandwiches," but that's only half the story here. You'll find 11 bocadillos at lunchtime: plump rolls filled with everything from serrano ham to Catalan sausage with arugula. But at night, chef-owner Gerald Hirigoyen, who also owns the high-profile Piperade, focuses on tapas, offering some two dozen choices, including a delicious grilled quail, an equally superb pig's trotters with herbs, and calamari with romesco (a thick combination of red pepper, tomato, almonds, and garlic) sauce. His wine list is well matched to the food. A youngish crowd typically piles into the modern, red-brick-walled dining space, so be prepared to wait for a seat. A large communal table is a good perch for singles.
