Azucar!
Description
Be prepared to grab a margarita at next-door El Cid while you wait for a seat to open at this tapas joint—there's almost always a wait, and the bar remains packed throughout the night. While you're sipping, remind yourself what you're waiting for: spice-rubbed pork with a crunchy sprinkling of pistachio; cheese-and-mushroom–stuffed red peppers plated on a creamy chickpea puree; and a crema Catalana packed with cinnamon. Resist that second margarita if you can—these are tapas you'll want to remember the next day.
