  1. La taberna del pintxo would be great if you are in Cataluña, that spelling is Catalán, and it means the place sells little sandwiches, so that would have to be your specialty (they generally run around 1€ per little toothpicked item)

    La Patagonia would probably specialize in Argentinian food, since Patagonia is a region of Argentina.  (and you WILL find places like that in Spain.)

    My favorite place is called El Rey del Pimiento, and they serve pretty much everything typical, but they sell hot peppers that have been roasted, and they call that their special.  If you want an address, (you can make things really authentic) it's Pza Puerta Cerrada 4, Madrid.  (It belongs to my friend's family)

    There's also, like any saint name.  My son's favorite place was called San Francisco.  It's in Sevilla.  Or you could get out a map and name any place after the church it's located across the street of.

    If you were to set one up in Segovia, you could call it Restaurante Alcázar or Aqueducto, and put it in the shadow of either of those landmarks.  In Toledo, El Greco.  The possibilities are endless.  

    Most restaurants in Spain are named for a landmark (generally one that is near their location) a saint, the owner, or some feature of it.  One restaurant that is located on a corner is called El Rinconcillo, the little corner.  It might be called Casa Blanca if it's painted white.  There are, of course, exceptions, but that's really common.

    I like Pan y Amor...that's cute, too.

    *edit* I stand corrected on where the word pintxo comes from...the spelling is typical of Cataluña, which is where I first came in contact with them.  My bad.


  2. Manuel  and faulty

  3. Comida

    El Tenedor Loco

    Pan y Amor

    A La Orden

    El Puerco Feliz

  4. COJONES is a good name for restaurant in spanish

  5. La Taberna Del Pintxo

    La Patagonia

  6. Spam?

  7. "La Taberna del Castellano" (The Castilians Tavern)

    "El Buen Tapeo" (The Good Tapeo... tapeo is untranslatable)

    "Al Buen Sabor" (The Good Flavour)

    "Las Delicias del Paladar" (The Palate's Delights)

    "Al Buen Yantar" (Yantar is an archaic spanish word for eating).

    (La Taberna del Pintxo is nice too...Pintxo is not a word from Cataluña, it is the word used in Basque country and Navarra for tapas, and right now that area has the best tapas in Spain!)
