Spanish food does not tend to be overly picante (“hot”), but is richly infused with savory spices, such garlic and saffron, and olive oil. Seafood is a very important part of Spanish cuisine, and is often a main ingredient in paella (traditional Spanish rice dish). Before settling down to a meal of paella or other entrée, Spaniards often partake in tapas (“tops”) named for the small plates on which they are served. 
Long before the discovery of America it was obligatory for Spanish innkeepers to serve food with wine. A tasty morsel of cured ham, chorizo, cheese or olives was served on a small plate, which covered a jug of wine like a lid, or top (“tapa”). Tapas are Spanish small plates. Often a few tasty little dishes selected from the infinite variety found in bars all over Spain make a full meal. Whether Tasca de Plata patrons elect to make a meal out of tapas or enjoy them before diving into a delectable entrée or paella, they can rest assured. They will receive the finest traditional Spanish fare in town.
