Tía Pol Review

This tiny, dark, out-of-the-way, but highly popular tapas bar is usually packed, but there are good reasons for that: it's one of the best in town, with a welcoming vibe, a dozen reasonably priced Spanish wines by the glass, and charm to spare. The tables and stools are small (and high), but the flavors are enormous. One of the most original tapas has become a signature here: bittersweet chocolate smeared on a baguette disc and topped with salty Spanish chorizo. Patatas bravas (rough-cut potatoes deep-fried and served with a dollop of spicy aioli) are so addictive, you won't want to share them. The pork loin, piquillo pepper, and mild tetilla cheese sandwich is scrumptious, and so is the Galician octopus terrine. In fact, everything on the menu is transporting and delicious.
