From the restaurant's website:
"In his first venture abroad, Luis Lezama crossed the Atlantic to open Taberna Del Alabardero in the Nation’s Capital city on March 27, 1989. ... Since 1989 Taberna quickly garnered high praise and a legion of acolytes. Fast forward 21 years later, executive Chef Javier Romero continues to carry the torch that was established."
Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner Mon–Sat. Sun brunch 11:30 am–3:30 pm.
"One visit and you’ll understand what many Americans may not be aware of — that there’s a world of Spanish cooking beyond paella. Start with smoky peppers stuffed with codfish or almost-greaseless fried squid. Main courses might include roast pork with raisin sauce or beef with peppers and boiled potatoes. If you decide to have that paella, try the luxurious lobster version, and don’t miss the crema Catalana for dessert."
