Underwhelming Tortilla Española — expected more

I was looking forward to Tortilla Española here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The smoky and savoury character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with Jamón Ibérico or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

the tapas tradition developed as small accompaniments to drinks. The a siesta-hour lunch restaurant setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Rioja red wine was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
