Tapeo is a Spanish tapas joint in Central; Pisco visited last Saturday with a couple friends for a late dinner. It’s a nice place, somewhat minimal in design, pleasantly (read: dimly) lighted, and I found my friends at the bar where they had already started eating.
I spotted a special list, on which was posted a “morcilla with duck egg” tapa… what a delight! Rich morcilla, crumbled on a small plate, topped with a sunny-side up duck egg. The waitron offered to break the egg; I acceded and she returned the plate a minute later with everything mixed together, kind of like an undercooked hash. What a delight – hands down the best plate of the evening. The accompanying baguette was a bit chewy, but sufficed as a vehicle on which to shovel morcilla and egg into one’s gullet.
The white anchovies were excellent too.
The owners of Tapeo also run Box Thai and Mrs. Jones; if they’re anything like Tapeo they’ll be good options for regular eating.
