More information on Carmencita

Carmencita, founded in 1840 and exquisitely restored, is a street-corner enclave of old Spanish charm filled with 19th-century detailing and tile work. It was a favorite hangout for the poet Federico García Lorca, as well as a meeting place for intelligentsia in the pre-civil war days. Meals might include entrecôte with green pepper sauce, escalope of veal, braised mollusks with port, filet of pork, cod with garlic, and Bilbao-style hake. Every Thursday the special of the day is a complicated version of Madrid's famous cocido, which patrons wax lyrical over. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
