Description:
Frequented by locals and travelers on a budget, Romesco is never going to win any Michelin stars, but it does offer up the sort of homemade food that is rapidly disappearing within the immediate vicinity of touristy La Rambla. The lighting is bright, the tables are laminated, and the waiters and food are both no-nonsense and generously proportioned. You will find healthy, fresh dishes like grilled tuna served with a simple salad, or hearty delights such as arroz a la cubana (white rice, tomato sauce, a fried egg, and a fried banana). Desserts include a creamy crema catalana (crème brûlée) and arroz con leche (rice pudding). Finish off with a strong black coffee like the locals.

Dehydrated chicken and tasty shrimp
-
Tried this place based on reviews and the chicken with french fries pretty much ruined the meal. It was extremely dry (even the dark meat) and tasetless. Fries were extra greasy. I...
