Carrera
Located on 2nd Avenue and 12th Street this tiny tapas place packs a lot of punch. Grab a seat at the bar and settle in for a night of snacking and sipping. Start off with a carafe of the sweet pulpy sangria to get you in the mood for fun. Order your food right away as the one man tapas machine in the small open kitchen gets pretty busy. Don't miss the chorizo bocadillo (served as a sandwich on a mini baguette) and the tuna melt bocadillo topped with manchego cheese. Then indulge in the extensive collection of tasty wines. We whetted our pallette with the inexpensive "con class" with a clean and crisp flavor. Then work your way around the menu with the help of the friendly bartender. By 7pm the bar will be fully packed so sit back and enjoy the warm, loud buzz and friendly vibe. And in case you get tired of the spanish theme, you can go to their sister bar Veloce (located right next door) for a little taste of Italy. Bon Apetito and yum!
