New York Spanish Cuisine: La Nacional 馃専
馃搷 La Nacional Patatas Bravas We ordered this classic dish 脿 la carte, and it was impeccable鈥攕o good that you鈥檒l want to lick the plate clean! 馃崯 馃尶馃専 Croquetas Caseras These daily-made croquetas are a must-try and a signature of the house. The creamy, wild mushroom sauce inside is simply divine. 馃崝 Pulpo a la Plancha 馃悪 The octopus is incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned. While the portion isn鈥檛 overly large, the cheese-topped potatoes underneath are a delightful bonus. 馃嵆 Paellas We chose the mixta (seafood + chicken) and Negra (black squid ink seafood). Even the small size comes in a huge pan, with plenty of seafood. It鈥檚 very authentic, though our Chinese taste buds found the tapas even more impressive. 馃崨 Other Notes: 馃尶馃専 Salad: The vegetables are very fresh. 馃ガ Desserts: We tried churros and flan, which were just average. Cava: We ordered a $10 bottle of Cava (sparkling wine), which tasted like it was worth exactly $10. 馃 Chorizo/Ham: The portions for these are quite small. Since we had a large group, we skipped them, but if you鈥檙e into Spanish cured meats, definitely give them a try. 馃崠 #RestaurantRecommendation #SpanishCuisine 馃尶馃専
