| - My friend from Barcelona always mentions the lil bull when we pass by Augusta Ave. We tried to go inside a couple of times but we weren't lucky enough.
Last Wednesday not only was this place open, it was displaying a flashy sign: "50% off sangria". We were in touristy mood trying to get the happy hour badge, so that advertisement attracted us like flies.
Once inside, the set up looked too formal to be a tapas bar. I mean, all the cutlery to eat olives, potatoes, and topped bread? We ordered some olives and bread to accompany our sangrÃa. The waitress was really friendly, her smile was authentic, and she even joke about offering us the container of the drink to put on the fridge.
The ambiance was perfect for me. I was looking at the Almodovar´s posters, when Manu Chao started playing. A group of 5 interesting characters arrived, sat on the window table, and got into an active hanging out-debate. The whole scene made me thought about how multicultural this city is... Manu Chao (France); Almodovar (Spain), my accompanied (Portugal), me (Mexican), other's (from at least 5 different mixtures or heritages).
The sangria was effective; it allowed us to seat, refresh, enjoy, read the menu, get philosophical, chair sing while half body dance, and think about going back.
