Chef José Andrés created Mercado Little Spain, a 35,000-square-foot food hall dedicated to Spanish cuisine and culture, in New York City in 2019. The Spanish Diner is one of Little Spain's three pillar restaurants, and it has swiftly become one of the city's most popular dining destinations. José and his crew made the decision to open this interesting restaurant in Bethesda, where José and his family live. The cuisine at Spanish Diner is truly Spanish, but you'll be hard-pressed to locate these meals in any Spanish restaurant because they're family recipes passed down from generation to generation around the kitchen table.
