Becerrita is about a ten-minute walk from the centre of Barrio Santa Cruz and is very much worth the trip. Moving with the times, the small tapas bar section as you enter has been expanded to include the first dining room, which now has glass-topped tables instead of table cloths and a lighter, more casual atmosphere. There are several other full-service dining rooms, including a private room for two, all overseen by super-charming maître d’ Antonio. There is also a lovely sidewalk terrace. Private parking is also available.

Service is very attentive and professional without being stuffy. And owner Jesús Becerra is a perfect host, welcoming you with a warm smile. There’s an excellent wine list with several options by the glass, and daily special tapas, which will explain why some of the food you see in the photos here might not always be available. The food is a wonderful blend of traditional and innovative cooking. Try the oxtail croquettes and the garlicky grilled beef “Señor Marqués”, and basically anything that’s being served with their gorgeous Pedro Ximenez sauce.
