La Cova Fumada
Catalan Spanish
This no-frills Barceloneta tavern invented the bomba, a fried potato croquette stuffed with beef and hit with aioli and hot sauce, and now every bar in the city has one on the menu. The original is still the best reason to show up. Cash-only, no reservations, and full of locals who've been coming for years, it's the kind of place that makes you feel like you actually found something.
