“No food is good enough to tolerate music this loud. We were a group of ten celebrating the birthday of our friend (who is originally from Spain). Every person was overwhelmed by how loud the music was. When one of us asked of it could be turned down you could tell he gets asked this 100 times per night. But no. We all agreed afterwards that none of us would to back again. Apparently the music volume is part of the experience. You can not talk to the person next to you unless you legitimately yell. Forget about talking across the table. As someone who is trying to learn Spanish, I couldn't hear nor understand a word anyone was saying in Spanish. People with iPhones received loud environment warnings from their phones. Most concerts we go to are not this loud. The food was good. Some of it was exceptional. But none of it was worth putting up with the misery of the environment.”

“The food was excellent and the portion sizes were fair for the price. We ordered croquetas, galzpacho, potato with ibérican ham, salmorejo, and octopus — everything was freshly prepared, well cooked, and very tasty. Overall, it’s great value for money. Chef Jesús is a caring and charming host, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“Each time we passed by on our way to somewhere else, we wished we were stopping here. Very lively and bright. The food being served looked great. When we did manage to go, we found it was alright, but a bit more flash than substance. The service was a little awkward, as I don't speak Spanish well, and no english menu was offered. This is indeed, partly my responsibility, but many places do have english menus on hand. And it wasn't a huge menu to print. We could figure out much of the menu and chose to accept the servers recommendations. We ended up with an interesting selection of shareable plates. As we looked around, we noticed most diners were enjoying similar meals. Kind of like tapas in Spain. And the food was Mediterranean/Mexican fusion. Maybe. The stand out for me was an octopus grilled and served in a red sauce. Not bad overall.”

“Decent Spanish restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. We came on a Sunday evening 30 minutes before closing. We were lucky to snatch a table and order a paella before the kitchen closes. While they have outdoor seating, the receptionist would not give it to us, so we had to sit inside. While the service and environment were fine inside, the music was extremely loud (to the extent that I wanted ear plugs). I am not sure if it was a tactic to get the customers to leave more quickly, but it was intense to say the least. Everything was slightly too salty for me, but otherwise pretty okay. The only dish I would not recommend was the beef tartare. Our server helped us with the gluten-free options. A potentially good place for group meals if the music isn’t always this loud.”

“This place was recommended by our Air BnB host. I love soup and wanted a nice evening warm up meal (it's February now).so she suggested their lentil soup. It was not what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised. It is made with chorizo and is crowned with a small pork rib. It was flsvorful and satifying. My husband had the seafood paella which seems to be one of their most popular dishes.. I couldn't resist tasting it and it was incredibly flavorful and had that lovely, required crust on the bottom. He also had the tomato salad which had olives and perfectly ripe avocado chunks and no lettuce. It was so fresh and delicious, though it came with a LOT of dressing. Also delicious but noting it for those who like it light. This is not a dark, quiet, spacious romantic restaurant - seating is close together and it's a fun, buzzing experience with friendly, energetic, busy staff and delicious food options. A fun way to enjoy some great food in a warm and friendly environment. I recommend making reservations via Open Table if you want to go for dinner as they get busy with people waiting outside for a seat.”

“Overall, good food and good vibes. We ordered (translated) the cheese plate (pictured below), potato tart, iberico, cheese and truffle sandwich, the duck with risotto, and a salad and everything was fabulous. The food is Spanish tapas style so admittedly, it’s more expensive than if you were ordering entrees, as tends to be the case with tapas. In looking around, all the food we saw looked delicious and we may be back soon to try more items on the menu. As well, we were seated exactly at our reservation time - always appreciated. It’s super loud in the restaurant so I wouldn’t recommend it for a group larger than 4 - you won’t be able to hear yourselves. As well, it didn’t appear that any staff spoke English so if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll have to struggle thru the menu yourself.”

“A lively place for casual spanish food. The classics like the tortilla and croquetas are done very well. Their selection of tinned fish are also pretty decent, the toast theyre served on could be less toasted, though. Everything that was ordered surpassed expectations except for the artichoke, which was good but nothing to write home about. The ambiance is lively like the decor. The place fills up fast, so go early or make a reservation. Price range is higher than you'd expect.”
