Barraca Paella and tapas bar, San Antonio

Look at a name like Barraca Paella and Tapas Bar, and you think you know what to expect: traditional Spanish flavors served on small plates. But this tapas bar continuously finds new ways to surprise, whether by incorporating Mexican influences or offering sharable platters for larger parties. Among the menu's most popular items are pulled-chicken empanadas, Spanish tortillas, and grilled octopus, though no meal is complete without a two-serving paella with roasted lamb shank or seafood.
