Onions and cilantro. $2.95
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I really like their beef barbacoa. It’s super tender and flavorful. And they don’t try to overfill these tacos with too much fancy toppings.

Spinach salad with goat cheese – La Taverna del Born
€6.80
La Taverna del Born, Barcelona SPAIN
This was a pretty simple salad, but it was refreshing and bright on a warm, sunny day. I like the fruity forward dressing and honey combo, and there was plenty of goat cheese!
Tartare and salmon montaditos – Paco Meralgo
€3.85 / €3.70
Paco Meralgo, Barcelona SPAIN
These montaditos were really tasty! I loved the fine texture of both, and the salmon had a nice smoky flavor. Mmm…
Basil gimlet – Rye

Rye, San Francisco CA
This bar had a pretty cool and relaxed vibe. The bartender was also friendly and definitely knew what he was doing. Hence, this delicious basil gimlet!

Spanish tortillas – El Berro
Potato and vegetable tortillas, pan con tomate. Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
These tortillas were actually pretty tasty. They had a nice texture and flavor. I could have done without the sad pan con tomate though.
Tiramisu and caffe gelato – Gelateria Italiana Olivier
Gelateria Italiana Olivier, Sitges SPAIN
Mmm, this gelato was nice and creamy, and the flavors were rich and bold. Noms! I couldn’t decide which flavors to get, so I opted for two of my favorites.
House-made spam – Liholiho Yacht Club
Over rice with furikake, pickles, green onions, and spicy mayo.
Liholiho Yacht Club, San Francisco CA
This was good, but not my favorite. I like “real” spam because it has a soft-ish texture that is really easy to eat. This house-made spam was pretty dense and really needed some heavy chewing to bite through. I loved the flavors though.

Jamon iberico de bellota – Parrots Pub
€4.50. With pan con tomate. €2.50
Parrots Pub, Sitges SPAIN
Hmm, I thought the ham was very dry and chewy. It seemed old to me, like it had been pre-sliced and sitting out for a while. Ew! The bread with tomato was fine though.
Fideua with aioli – Lizarran
Menu del dia, each €21.90 (with lobster supplemental)
Lizarran, Sitges SPAIN
This was basic, but good. I liked the crispy bits of noodles from the bottom of the pan. I had hoped that there would be some onions or any vegetables, but alas, no.
Chicken enchilada – Tropisueno
Topped with enchilada sauce and queso fresco. $4.50
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I’ve decided that this enchilada is a bit too small for the price. Thank goodness I can filled up on their addictive chips and salsa! 🙂
Sacher cake – El Rincon de Pepe
With bitter orange and cream ice cream. Menu of the day €16.50
El Rincon de Pepe, Sitges SPAIN
This cake was interesting. It was on the dry and crumbly side, and I’m not sure if it was supposed to be. I think it worked out fine because of the bitter orange syrup and ice cream, but it would have been a disappointment on its own.
Sauteed baby squid with “Santa Pau” beans – Paco Meralgo
€9.10
Paco Meralgo, Barcelona SPAIN
I really thought this dish was lovely! I loved the texture of the squid and the beans, and both were so tasty and wonderful.
