    10/10 experience. We had just about one of every tapa on the menu and everything was amazing. Highly recommend the shrimp. Service was great. Definitely recommend.

    Service was slow, food was subpar, and the ambiance was lacking. If this place was good it was a while a go. The metal chairs need to go, I asked the only waiter fix the wobbly table and for bread never got either. Paid $5 dollars for valet which all all he does is double park my car, lol.

    Third time here; the first time was amazing, everything was great. But on the last 2 visits, the food was just OK, dishes didn't arrive hot, and service was slow. This place seems to be chronically understaffed.

    We returned to Casa d'Paco after a great previous experience. On a snowy night, we had the cozy place almost to ourselves. Croquetas de marisco, langostinos, a ribeye steak and a bottle of Marques de Riscal Reserva, all served with friendly efficiency -- a fine way to spend the evening. We'll be back.

    The food, drinks and service here was very good! The sangria was very tasty. We ordered lots of different things but my favorite was the solomillo con bacon and an avocado dip that was fantastic. I can’t remember the name for the avocado thing. Phenomenal though! Actually thought about ordering a second one all to myself. Parking is literally nonexistent. You will need to valet park for $5 and they will actually double park you around the block so don’t go in your fanciest car if you are particular about how it is parked. Other than that, 10 out of 10 would do again!

    We tried about 7 tapas and each was equally delicious from the lamb chops to the short rib meatball to the chicharron de pollo. The drinks were delicious and not shy on the alcohol. Our service was amazing. We will be returning.

    Excellent spot for tapas. Highly recommend if you can make it on a night they host a flamenco show.
