Rogue cuisine, casual and daring
© DephaseGap It is the project of José and Marta that began as delivery but today it also has a physical space “with a menu that has the perfect mix of Spanish and American food with some nods to other cuisines, such as Mexican with our collaboration with Roberto Ruiz or Italian, with references to the carbonara in croquettes or tortilla,” its founders tell us. Its gastronomy stands out mainly for having a traditional menu where you can find salad, patatas bravas or croquettes “but also find something different that they don’t have anywhere else,” acknowledges Jose, the creative and “outdated” mind behind each recipe. He himself thought of fusing carbonara with croquettes to create Carboquetas or calling the sandwiches El Español, El Yankee and El Guiri.
