The Delekta Review
Rafa Peña (Gresca, 2 Soles Repsol) opened it in December 2018 with co-founders Juanlu Pérez and Biel Gavaldà Interior designed by Maite Fuentes of Alapar Estudio — submarine-green walls, ceilings, and fixtures
Bar first, food second — burgers, sandwiches, and greasy snacks built to drink with Two draft beers on rotation (one craft fixture, one revolving), plus a natural-wine list weighted toward lighter bodies
Signature burger: 140g six-month-aged Galician beef, gouda and cheddar, pickle, onion, mustard mayo, housemade ketchup Patty melt — the same burger on sandwich bread KFGuatlla — Kentucky-fried quail Soft-shell crab sandwich with chilli-peanut-cilantro sauce Pastrami de lengua; callos sandwich; albóndigas sandwich; panceta teriyaki
Walls, ceilings, and floors all in vintage submarine green; red escay banquettes, thrifted accessories, a foosball table
Evenings only: Tue–Wed 19:00–02:30, Thu–Sat 19:00–03:00
