C Casa

The tacos as C Casa at the Oxbow Market aren't the average taco. Options like the spiced lamb with goat cheese, mint, jalapeños, garlic aioli, mixed greens, and avocado creme take the taco to a whole new level.

La Torna, Santa Caterina Market

La Torna, a tapas bar in the Santa Caterina market, is a more intimate and possibly more local affair than the stalls in La Boqueria.

Lovely grilled tuna with vegetables.

Asparagus with a healthy amount of sea salt and romesco.

Seafood platter - each item perfectly cooked.

Rich tripe stew with beans and jamon.

Beans and blood sausage.

A surprise (and surprisingly good) chocolate cake with a gooey center and creamy sauce.

Pinotxo Bar, Boqueria Market

Pinotxo Bar (stall #466) in the Boqueria market has great food and a fun vibe.

Beef stew with chunks of meat, liver and peas.

Scrambled eggs with shrimp and veggies.

Unexpectedly good chickpeas - mixed with meat, of course.

Beans with clams - so simple and so delicious.

The octopus was absolutely incredible - simply grilled with olive oil, salt and paprika.

Patatas bravas.

Super soft and creamy flan.
