Pimientos de Padr贸n

On any given night one or two men with guitars will strum their chords while older men crowded around wooden tables bellow their flamenco with fierce vibrato.

I brought my friends for the music initially, but one evening a man at a table next to us who was eating a plate of peppers ordered a plate of the same for my friends and I. Now I bring my friends for the music and the peppers.
