When we talk of Spanish cuisine, croquette, tortilla, and paella usually come to mind first. But beyond these classic Spanish favorites, the cuisine has more to offer in the form of tapas and pintxos. <\/span><\/p>\n

These small, but incredible snacks generally mean the same thing except for a few distinctions. Tapa<\/strong> is usually a small serving of a common Spanish dish, while pintxo<\/strong> is a finger food commonly served on top of bread with a cocktail stick or toothpick. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for Spanish snacks to munch on, here are 10 restaurants that offer tapas and pintxos around the Metro!<\/span><\/p>\n
