So, it’s been several years since I had this meal, but I still get excited when I tell people about it. We went to La Cazuela, home of my favorite shrimp tacos, and they had a sign up advertising a special of “pulpo de ajo.” I was feeling adventurous, so I ordered it, and the waitress asked me a few times if I was sure, and wanted to most of all make sure that I understood that “pulpo” meant “octopus”. I assured her that I knew what I was doing, and they brought out a plate of one of the best things I have ever eaten. A giant pile of tiny octopi, slow-cooked, tender, with copious amounts of roasted garlic. I haven’t seen the pulpo on special there ever since, but it lives on in my happy memories.







I love to eat those little baby octopockles. I wish I’d been there for this one!
I’ve eaten that too at La Cazuela! Back in the summer in the amazing back garden area. Ah, makes me think of summer! I’m going back there for Valentine’s Day with my BF. Love that place.
