    We ordered croquetas , oxtails ($44) ridiculous, that came with a terrible rice on the side, and chicken with French fries 🍟 ( terrible) my son couldn’t eat. Just saying that I’m from Spain 🇪🇸, this place have nothing to do with food from my beautiful country, we are so proud of our food, and this restaurant brings us down. Stay away from spending your money here. The flamenco 💃🏻 show was very nice and entertaining.

    The food was good and this was clearly a nice mom-and-pop family restaurant, but the prices were ridiculous. We ordered the Spanish meatballs, which I believe were $12, and we got 5 bite-size meatballs in a sauce. The portions were nowhere near reasonable for the price. Party of two, we spent $75 before tip without any drinks and left still hungry. I love to support small business but we won’t be going back.

    Delicious tapas and paella! There was not one bad dish! The only issue we had was the noise level. We sat outside and there was live music - which was great - but it was played so loud we could not carry on a conversation. We asked the waiter to have them please lower the volume and I think they just cranked it up louder.

    We always love it here specially on weekends for flamenco or live music. Food is great and every time we get the male Spaniard server he does an amazing job every time.

    The service of the waitress was super disappointing! I was celebrating my anniversary and I never received any congratulations, any special detail, and at the end of the dinner, we had to wait more than 20 minutes to pay the bill. Very disappointed!

    Amazing place. And to think the steak here is better than my maple and ash experience. Great ambience feel and warm. Great service and location. Will come back again and again.

    Our Waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the ambience was good. Food was good, our only complaint was with our kids order. First the menu had the option for a cheese pizza or a chorizo pizza, which turns out is just fancy for pepperoni. They must have forgotten his order and rushed it that when he received it, it was ice cold in the center. Also, the $12 pizza is no different than the individual frozen pizzas from Costco. This was disappointing. The rest of the meals we had no complaints.

    Wonderful atmosphere, both inside and on the patio. The entrees were all wonderful, but the tapas were pedestrian especially given the hefty price tag for each. Service was rather perfunctory...they may be understaffed as our server seemed rushed and not particularly friendly.
