There are so many bars in San Sebastian, each one has different pintxos. You might find various mini burgers in one bar, various mini sandwiches in another, but most bars provide pintxos with sticks.
Some travellers gave advice to not stopping at one bar. You would be better to stop at one bar, eat one or two pintxos then move to another one and eat different things. Every bar you go to will have some special pintxos that are different from other bars.
We tried various pintxos, all of them were delicious. We used to think that food made from bacalhau (salted cod) is salty. But we tried 'bacalhau pil pil' (one of Basque local dishes) and bacalhau croquet, both of them were not salty at all. My favourite amongst all was stuffed pepper. It was creamy, delicate, cheesy inside, and crunchy outside. So more-ish. I had 2 pieces. Each pintxo we ate cost €2. Not bad at all. There are other menu you can order. Usually they are written on a board, more expensive than pintxos available on the bar. We didn't try because after trying various things we were full.
Be patient, you have to be in the crowd, take it as part of the way you enjoy your pintxos: standing with other people!
