Questions & Answers about Los pinchos de este bar son muy buenos.

What exactly are pinchos and how are they different from tapas?
In Spain, pinchos (or pintxos) are small snacks similar to tapas, but they are typically served on a small piece of bread and held together with a toothpick. They are especially famous in northern Spain.
Why do we use este instead of esto for 'this'?
You use este because it is a demonstrative adjective describing a specific masculine singular noun (bar). You only use esto when pointing to an unknown object or talking about a general situation, never right next to a noun.
Why does the sentence use son instead of están to talk about food?
Using son (from the verb ser) describes the general, consistent quality of the food at this bar. If you were eating a pincho right now and wanted to say 'This tastes really good,' you would use estar and say están muy buenos.
Why does the Spanish sentence say de este bar when the English translation says 'in this bar'?
In Spanish, to show that the food belongs to or is a characteristic product of that specific place, you use de (of/from). It literally translates to 'the pinchos of this bar'.
