I have had 3 experiences at Morcilla (so far...I imagine there are MANY more in the future). Every time I went I've tried new things, in addition to 'old' favorites. I was an exchange student in Northern Spain many years ago, the memories this food brings back...
I have 2 favorite dishes, although I think a 3rd was added to that list last night.
My first choice when walking into Morcilla is the Churro De Cangrejo y Estragon - this is a MUST ORDER (if you don't have a shell fish allergy!). It is so, absolutely, utterly amazing and scrumptious. Order it. You won't be disappointed.
My second favorite dish - Endive and goat cheese. I got this my first 2 visits - but was bummed to not see it on the menu last night. However - I appreciate that they change their menu according to the season (hello asparagus!)
The new addition to my favorite list - Chorizo. Holy yum. That's all I can say about it - YUM.
I've tried almost all the Montaditos and have absolutely no complaints. I've tried most of the Croquetas as well. I will say - personally - I'm not a fan of the Queso de cabra. It has quite a strong smokey flavor, but that's just me. My friend I was with last night loved it.
The wait staff has been great (other than the hiccup the first visit where our waiter would only talk to my friend who had been there, but not me - who had never visited....weirdo.)
They recently added Sangria Rosada. I've tried all 3 sangria's and this is by far my favorite.
I will say I had one frustration in this last visit however. (But it surely won't keep me from returning. Many. Many times) I made reservations for 3 - but one of the members of the party ended up having a work event she couldn't get out of. I wanted to try to find someone to take her place, so i didn't call immediately to let them know. Wednesday when the hostess called to confirm our reservation - she questioned why I had not called to let them know the reservation had changed. "Good thing I called". That wasn't necessary. You are the first face your patrons see/hear. I thanked her and moved on. However, we were running late getting to our reservation last night, so I called to let them know we would be 5 minutes late. (I'm not one to no show!) She wasn't too pleasant AGAIN! "Well I guess we can keep your table". Um...what?! At least I had the courtesy to call!
Morcilla hasn't been open long - and I have visited 3 times and have additional upcoming reservations. A "hiccup" in the hostess will not keep me from going as the rest of the wait staff is incredibly friend and helpful. Thank you Morcilla for being you - I can't wait to return.
