For the mildly adventurous. Non-zero chance of the 💩s.

Great food, but the kitchen's had some "notes" from the inspector. Worth it? Probably. Pack Imodium just in case.

Authentic Spanish vibes and flavors.

El Rincon de Rafa is that delightful tapas bar that feels like you’ve been transported straight to Spain, minus the plane ticket. The rustic decor and authentic vibe make it a cozy spot to dig into some cracking tapas. The Callos and Lentejas stews are real winners—both of which had me saying '¡Olé!' after every bite. It’s like they’ve bottled the essence of Spain and poured it right onto your plate. Just a heads up, the crab claws didn’t quite hit the mark, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the staff seem to know their stuff. Expect a wait, though; this place is popular for good reason. If you fancy a culinary adventure, grab your pals and head over for some Spanish delights. 🥘
