The restaurant, known for its authentic flavors and Spanish culinary experience, also revamped its creative cocktail menu.
From putting a new spin on the most celebrated classics to introducing new creative innovations. Barullo Taberna Española expanded its authentic Spanish culinary flavors with the addition of a new chef.
The relaunched menu brings a focus on contemporary and innovative culinary techniques that celebrate the rich gastronomic heritage of the Iberian Peninsula, said new chef Douglas Quijada.
"We are excited to present our revamped menu, which reflects the essence of Spanish cuisine with a modern and creative approach. Each dish has been meticulously crafted to provide an unforgettable dining experience," said Quijada, who has more than 20 years of experience in hotels and restaurants across Central America and North America.
The chef added that the main focus of the menu update is on expanding the tapas and entrée offerings, as well as a revamped creative cocktail menu.
The new tapas on the Barullo Taberna Española menu
The revamped menu includes new tapas such as pulpo a la gallega in green oil over steamed potatoes, Spanish chorizo in wine, lamb meatballs, and the classic boquerones en vinagre.
The entrée offerings were also updated. Among the new dishes is the solomillo a caballo, an 8-oz filet mignon accompanied by a fried egg, over a combination of sweet plantain and piquillo peppers, finished with crispy truffle onion that further enhances the burst of flavors.
For seafood lovers, the menu introduces an exquisite fresh bacalao a la rioja fillet, served with a roasted red pepper and tomato sauce infused with green oil, accompanied by chickpeas and Spanish chorizo.
Visitors can also try the chuletón de cerdo accompanied by saffron-roasted squash purée, and the pollo chilindrón, a chicken breast roasted in a sauce of piquillo peppers with chunked potatoes.
In addition to the new tapas and entrée offerings, Barullo Taberna Española introduced a new cocktail menu alongside La Barrita del Lado.
"Our goal was to create a creative cocktail menu that would not only complement our culinary excellence but also add dynamism and a unique sensory experience," said DISTRITO T-Mobile general manager Francisco Mariani.
There will be free flamenco classes and "Noches de Marcha"
Now every Wednesday at La Barrita del Lado, "Noches de Españoleo" will be held, with 2-for-1 happy hour appetizer promotions, special discounts on house cocktails, and live music by Uby Casalduc, LereLere, Maruja and Ana del Rocío. Free flamenco classes will also be offered on the last Tuesday of the month, beginning April 23, in the Cafecito area.
"One of our main goals at the venue is to continuously innovate our cultural, gastronomic and entertainment offerings so that our visitors have a memorable experience. These new dishes offer a unique fusion of flavors that will delight the palate with every bite. We will also continue offering the dishes that have won over our visitors and become their favorites," Mariani added.
The festive atmosphere will not be limited to Wednesdays. The restaurant will hold "Noches de Marcha" every Friday starting at 9:00 p.m., with varied live DJ music.
The name comes from a colloquial expression used in Spain referring to nights of celebration and fun in a lively atmosphere.
As part of the launch of the new dishes, the restaurant will offer free valet parking with a purchase during lunch hours from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Barullo Taberna Española is open Sunday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. They also offer brunch on Saturdays and Sundays starting at 10:00 a.m.
