El Mesón Español is locals’ go-to spot for real Spanish food in the southwest of Puerto Rico. Have them bring one of their 2005 Rioja wines as you peruse the menu. Last time, I went for the Spanish omelet, the Spanish pork sausage, the croquettes, and the fried squid as tapas before splitting a giant paella with my mom. Be sure to try the San Jacobo steak with mozzarella, pimiento, and asparagus) and their house-cured Serrano.
