Spanish kitchen
Spanish tapas in Costa del Este
Creamy croquettes, hand-carved acorn-fed Iberian ham, patatas bravas, tortilla, octopus, rice dishes and fideuà. The tapeo you know, with produce that earns it.
Acorn-fed Iberian hamThe bar
Niño Muñoz opened his first restaurant in Barcelona at 21
He comes from a family of cooks: his father and his grandfather were chefs before him. That schooling — the Spanish tavern, the produce, the fire handled properly — is what goes out every night at Santa Rita.
Our tapeo is not a tourist version. It is real bread with tomato, Russian salad our way, creamy croquettes that collapse when you bite them, patatas bravas with a proper kick, Spanish tortilla set to order and broken eggs the way a Madrid tavern makes them.
And from the sea: Galician and grilled octopus, Andalusian-style calamari, shrimp in garlic sauce, clams in garlic and white wine, tuna tataki and a Panamanian sea bass ceviche with our Spanish touch.
To share
Our tapeo, plate by plate
Three to five plates for every two people, depending on how hungry you are.
Rice and fideuà
Slow-fire cooking, and the patience it takes
Rice is where a Spanish kitchen is really tested. Ours are made to order with no shortcuts: creamy oxtail rice, seafood black rice with aioli, and meat fideuà, also with aioli.
Beside them, the stews that hold up the menu: tripe with Spanish chorizo, beef stew with mushrooms and potatoes, and oxtail in its own juices with red wine and potatoes.

One table, many plates, no rush
Book, and let the table fill up slowly. That is how Spain eats.
