About MendaurBerria
Parte Vieja has no shortage of pintxo bars, but MendaurBerria brings something more considered to the format: a minimalist room, seasonal ingredients, and a kitchen that keeps pushing the idea of what a bar snack can be. The pintxos are the anchor of any visit, and the arroz trufado con foie and the torrija are the ones people come back for specifically. The tacotalo earns its mentions too — a talo-based bite that sits well outside the neighbourhood standard. Staff are consistently warm, and the kind of attentive that makes a late lunch feel unhurried. The classics hold their price alongside the rest of Parte Vieja — croquetas de jamón at 2.80€ — while the more original plates reflect the kitchen's ambition. Busy, worth arriving with a plan.
