One croqueta is not enough! PAELLA NEGRA SUSHI. The initial crunch is followed by the creamy callos, and then an extra oomph is added by the chorizo slice on top and the tangy marinara sauce at the bottom.

It’s thinly-sliced potato chips fried until airy and crisp, dipped in the original and addictive bravas sauce. We also got a small, reliable plate of sliced Chorizo Iberico (P450) – cured Iberian native black pig – served with bread, and the Patatas Chips con Bravas (P410), a snack-ier but still delicious spin on the signature patatas bravas. They were HUGE too, and not like your typical Aklan oysters – they were bigger than my hand! CHORIZO IBERICO. I liked that they were easy to slurp out of their shells. ![]() Photo by John Roxas/Rapplerįor appetizers, we got the Ostras Frescas (P450), fresh oysters marinated Spanish-style in a refreshing, tangy vinaigrette, served with diced cucumbers on top and a squeeze of lemon. My favorite was the El Consuelo (P340), reminiscent of a creamy and sweet piña colada made with Luisita rum, pineapple and orange juices, and smooth coconut cream. If you love the fresh taste of cucumber, this drink is all about it. We tried the Verde Fresca (P370), a refreshing mojito dupe of lemon juice, cucumber, mint, and gin.
