If you want a little slice of Madrid close to home, this is the place. It's hard to find, being nestled back in a tiny strip mall off of Claremont's downtown Yale Avenue, but one you're there, you'll never want to leave. They have an astounding array of Spanish and Latin American wines at reasonable prices ($4-$6.50 a glass), but some can only be purchased by the bottle, so be careful what you order. Their tapas menu is extensive and delicious, but be sure to also check out their daily, which can be tempting. Don't' forget to order a canasta de pan (basket of bread) to sop up all the delicious juices and sauces. If you're REALLY hungry, go for their traditional Spanish paella. You will NOT leave hungry.
