We love this restaurant. No, it's not a place you'd take your fussy 16-year-old, but if you want intense flavors in interesting and authentic tapas, here's the spot. Try the pulpo a le gallega, thin slices of octopus with olive oil and crunchy salt crystals surrounding a mound of goat cheese mashed potatoes with spicy paprika -- fantastic! The expresso is wonderful, and there are a couple of desserts that are to die for (if you're a coffee lover, there's a dessert that will keep you awake all night). The restaurant is in the Fresh Market strip mall on Falls of the Neuse in North Raleigh, so you have to search it out -- but it's well worth the effort.
Pros: Interesting food
Cons: Location
