When I had my first meal here, ordering just a burger felt like I was missing out on the experience of being in a new place. Even though a burger is a type of American food, it tasted different here. The patty was a different color and the bacon was not as salty. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, but I had the feeling that it could have been better. In those next few days, I went grocery shopping and began cooking myself so I did not eat out. The next time I ate out was at Cafetería Tapería Navia City where I ordered tuna spaghetti. I had never heard of tuna spaghetti until then. The taste was not agreeable with me. The fishy smell was enough for me to realize that I would leave the place hungry. It tasted like regular spaghetti, but with fish. After that day, I became more cautious when eating out.
I was really anticipating pulpo a la gallega, but the texture of the tentacles was strange. The skin on the tentacles was squishy and the muscle was chewy and tough. With the texture being so new, I couldn't truly enjoy it.
Spaghetti tuna and pulpo a la gallega were not immediate hits for me, but the pepperoni pasta, lentil soup, and tapas were amazing. The pepperoni pasta was the most authentic rustic pasta that I have ever tasted.
The food is prepared to order and it is customary to spend an hour or two while dining out. You cannot get your food to go, and pizza shops are the only places that I've seen where the food is ready before you get there. Typically, the menu depends on the day. I've eaten at places that have an extensive menu but are only serving a couple of items on any given day.
