What to order
The plates that decide it
Crispy oxtail (rabo de toro) with foie gras — the plate regulars say not to miss
Pig's trotters with foie, the canelón and the Idiazábal-cheese croquetas, with a glass from the list — consistently good
Over-ordering — the menu is small for a reason — a few well-chosen plates beats a sprawl
