A Spanish Stalwart
El Faro has occupied the corner of Horatio and Greenwich since the meatpacking district actually merited its name. For decades, this Galician-owned treasure has turned out spot-on preparations of classic Spanish dishes in a cozy, semi-subterranean space that evokes the best local restaurants in smaller Iberian cities.
When I need a paella fix – or, even better, have a craving for unsurpassed gambas al ajillo – El Faro stands like a beacon, drawing me closer until I have to submit to high prices and too-formal service to get my fill. Still, I’m never disappointed here, and no one else I know is either.
Dishes I tried:
Shrimp Al Ajillo
A terrific rendition of this incredible classic – small shrimp, bubbling in a clay casserole filled with hot sauce and an immense amount of garlic. New York’s other ‘Spanish’ restaurants need to come study in El Faro’s kitchen for this one.
Paella a La Marinera
A luscious seafood paella that will transport you to the Mediterranean instantaneously.
Tortilla Española
The best tortilla española in New York.
