The beer is cold and the tapas hit the spot. Definitely worth coming!!

How do Lugo residents get up for work in the morning? Since it was already the final, there were not so many people. The bar offers not only tapas and pintxos, but also more serious dishes a large selection of tortillas, seafood (shrimp, squid, octopus). After tasting Galician wine and Rioja from my neighbors, I ordered a Ribeiro here. Still a classic.

However, Taberna Daniel really is grotty, but like proper shabby and ramschakle-like. For starters, the menus are filthy, like -literally filthy. I 've seen old and stained menus but this was something else. Psychologically it didn 't help that we were sat right opposite some dingy storage space by the toilets and opposite the mini kitchen, where the two poor ladies working there looked in extreme heat and discomfort (pain, even). We waited ages to be served. On the plus side, the tortilla was nice and made from scratch and the lacon with grelos (turnip greens) was excellent and plentiful. The negative was the truly stale and cold empanada de bonito. Not even microwaved. I wouldn 't recommend it.
