If you‘re hankering after authentic Mexican cuisine in the Spanish capital, at Ticuí (the sister restaurant of Puntarena) you’ll find the true essence of the country’s cooking in an attractively appointed and contemporary setting. The dishes on offer, combining tradition and modernity, are particularly made for sharing, and many are accompanied by delicious corn tortillas that are prepared here every morning on a traditional “comal” griddle. Among the selection of cold dishes on offer, we can highly recommend the sea bass with trout caviar topped with a crispy (and very spicy) tostada; and from the “comal” griddle, the delicious crab or octopus.
