The family behind Madrid Tapas y Vinos knows their Spanish cuisine. Not because they picked it up from a cookbook or on vacation, but because they've worked for years in Spain's hospitality industry. Those years instilled them with a passion for sharing Spain's cuisine with the world, and today they do just that by pairing traditional Spanish tapas with imported wines.

Aside from their famous paella, the family's most popular small plates include lightly fried calamari, sweet Spanish sausage, and cranberry-crowned baked goat cheese. Montaditos conceal troves of tomato sauce, along with ham and cheese. The larger main courses are equally appetizing, with options that include grilled swordfish served atop a bull that's charging straight for your table.
