WHY You’ll be tempted to continue ordering tapas until you’re full, but save room for the churros with chocolate dipping sauce, one of the best desserts ever invented.;

WHAT This Montrose hot spot (no, that’s not an oxymoron) has a huge menu of delicious, light small bites (bacon-wrapped dates, croquettes, mushrooms of many kinds, grilled octopus, steamed clams, excellent stuffed peppers, small and complex salads) and larger grilled dishes (New York steak with blue-cheese butter), plus a fun selection of wines and live gypsy music some nights. The point is to order a bottle of wine or a carafe of sangria, then linger over a parade of interesting dishes in the warm, high-ceilinged, barn-like space. ;
