There is no sign over the door, the tables are marble and the menu is on a board. The bomba, a fried ball of potato and meat with a spicy sauce, is the reason people queue. Add whatever seafood is on the board and a glass of vermouth. It opens early and is mostly a daytime place, which suits a port day: it is a short walk from the cruise shuttle stop. No reservations.
