Taberna Casa Manteca
A bullfight-themed old tavern in La Viña, opened in 1953, serving cured meats and tinned seafood on waxed paper, with sherry on the side.
Casa Manteca stands on the corner of Corralón de los Carros and San Félix streets in La Viña, founded in 1953. Its walls are hung with photos of bullfighters and flamenco dancers. The snacks are mainly cold cured meats and tinned seafood, served directly on waxed paper. The signature is Cádiz chicharrones (pork rinds) with a glass of manzanilla. The average spend is about EUR 15–20 per person. The place fills up within half an hour of opening. It has since opened a fried-fish stall and an expanded restaurant, ArtePuro, on the same street to ease the crowds. You can only eat standing up or squeezed in, so go right when it opens.
