Spanish food in Taipei, a quick note

If you want real Spanish food in Taipei, forget the fancy setups and look for places with a simple, home-cooked feel. La Caja de Musica in Yongkang is one of those spots. It’s tiny, almost like stepping into a friend’s apartment for dinner. Sometimes they’ll even throw in a special dish that’s not on the menu,ask about those! Also, if you’re around Xinyi after a long day of wandering, check out their chilled sangria, which feels like a mini vacation all on its own.

Pro tip: Avoid weekends if you trouble sitting down,they get busy fast. Weekday dinners can be surprisingly mellow and you might get to talk with the chef or bartender, which really brings out the character of these places.
