Esperpento - great !

This is my first experience with tapas but I had great experience with the food here

-Garlic shrimp is simply awesome with the garlicky red sauce and succulent perfect size shrimps - superb. We ordered two - first time I ever done that in any restaurant
-Potatoes bravas: same superbness as above
-Oyster was also great here. Nice oyster flavor - ordered it twice
-Ham was very good and worth it
-Meatballs had very good sauce
-Chorizo was nothing special
-Calamari was superb- perfect tecture and chewiness
-Grilled asparagus was pretty good- had good garlic sauce
-Croquettes were allright
-Grill artichokes were ok - wish there is more artichoke flavor
-Paella turista was allright
-Sangria was quite good but expensive for the pitcher.
-Bread was actually pretty good here. Nice butter

There were obviously a lot of hits here and no misses

Any other great dishes here ?

      Judias Verdes Rebozadas - sauteed green beans with garlic
      Bacala Croquettes - creamy salt cod delights with spinach bechamel
      Patatas Bravas - spicy potatoes are a fave
