I, too, often ate in San Juan Ortega at the simple Bar Marcela and had good hearty food. Unfortunately the Bar Marcela which is located after the monastery complex could be quickly walked past by unobservant hurrying pilgrims. The bar is part of a local casa rural complex ; here is their web http://sanjuandeortega.com/

Hi Scott,
7 of us had dinner at the bar in San Juan a couple of nights ago and the food was delicious.

... and if you read "The Great Westward Walk," you'll see the locals gather round the finest morcilla at a little bar in Quintanilla, a four-house town near Cardenuela de Riopico (a little off the marked camino after Sto. Domingo.)
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
...on a freezing cold and rainy day, the bar warm and steamy, at San Juan. Unforgettable. I agree, best morcilla.
