'Cerveceras' (beer places), also called 'pollerias' (chicken places).
They are very cheap (1000 pesetas per person, $6) and the food is really good, believe me! (especially the chicken).
Actually, when the weather gets good around spring, most of the families and groups of friends zoom off to the nearest 'cervecera' to start the summer season with a juicy salad, a jar of fresh beer and a crusty chicken!
Favorite Dish: Already guessed what you can eat? Nice try, but you can also have 'tortilla de patatas' (Spanish omelette), 'pimientos verdes' (green peppers), 'morcilla' (delicious black pudding), 'chorizo' (can't explain this), french fries, salad, etc.

SAN SEBASTIAN: The whole town is one enormous restaurant, especially on Saturday night. You can wander from one tapas bar to another and eat what you want. Its a bit difficult to work out the pricing structure but all the food is on display and its easy to point and eat!
Favorite Dish: TAPAS!!
