Tximiri part 2

Pin It Now!
Refusing to leave Madrid defeated by Tximiri, I successfully scored menu items on my second attempt.


Pintxo de foie

A generous slab of foie resting on a sliced piece of baguette drizzled with a sweet red sauce.  Sweet, rich, fatty.  Delicious!  The sweet sauce complimented the sweetness of the foie perfectly.

Hamburgesa unai - fried mixed beef and seafood on top of sliced bread



Verdict:            Second try.  Veni, vidi, vici.  Both dishes were amazing.  I highly recommend coming here and order off the menu versus the tapas that are already laid out.  The quality is outstanding and the tapas are really innovative.

Txirimiri (tapas) - Spain ( Madrid)

Pin It Now!
Literally just landed and rushed to hotel to drop and headed out to Tximiri (La Latina) for dinner tapas.  Sunday nights are best in La Latina.  Everyone is out drinking with friends and having a bite to eat.  Tximiri was top of my Madrid tapas spots to try.  Apparently, if you go after 10p you can only eat what is already premade and displayed in the window - very limited.  So many appetizing things on the menu to order - made a note to be back before leaving Madrid.

Verdict:            First visit.  Disappointed that I couldn't order from the menu and had to choose what was left out.  Everything was good though, but I had my heart set on ordering specific items.
