La Cova Fumada
Catalan
The bomba, that fried potato croquette stuffed with ground beef and hit with aioli and hot sauce, was invented here, and you'll find its descendants on menus all over Barcelona. This old-school Catalan tavern in La Barceloneta keeps the original alongside grilled squid, summer sardines, and cap i pota for anyone who wants tripe and veal trotters in tomato. Cash only, no reservations, and the line out front is part of the deal.
