    The black squid rice was done poorly. The rice was mixed with ink but a lot of white rice was seen and it just didn’t taste good not like the typical Spanish dish. Looks like they put it all together last minute and not really cooked Properly . They just threw the crab on top as of out of a can . This is one of my favorites foods when I go to Spain and by far this was a disappointment. It was expensive for it to be such a disappointment. They served quantity but not quality. We did get greeted with a large plate of salad complimentary and provided churros also comp but wish the actual food would have been better.

    Our first time there. Portions were very large and we probably ordered too much. The quality was excellent and the menu is very extensive. Will definitely go there again when in town
