A dish that tells its story — Croquetas reviewed

You can taste history in Croquetas if you know what to look for. the tapas tradition developed as small accompaniments to drinks. The smoky and savoury character reflects those layers — Arborio-style Bomba rice doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a siesta-hour lunch restaurant setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Cava sparkling wine alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Croquetas, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
