“I have been to this restaurant several times and never been disappointed. This time around we had the CHAMPIÑONES GRATINADOS, PULPO A LA GALLEGA, ALBONDIGUILLAS AL TOMATE and of course sangria in red and also in white. Our entire party shared and been how I always done it at this restaurant. All the dishes were really good with really good flavor and also cooked to how I would expect it. Nothing was disappointing food wise. Next was the sangria and myself and my friend who were with me all have had many sangrias at many different places. The red was ok not the best and not the worse. The white was better and probably better than most but not #1. Still tasty and I would order it again. I think in the past they were better. Service was very fast but we were also their first customers. It can be a little slow when the restaurant is full. The atmosphere of the restaurant is awesome and I like the decorations. So now it comes down to was the food worth the price. I have been here many times so I would say yes. It’s definitely more on the pricey side, but the quality overall matches that. So if you looking for a good restaurant and willing to pay a little more this is a great place.”

“Spectacular Spanish tapas oriented restaurant with great atmosphere and live music, splendid attentive service but such a wide variety of dishes to choose we all order different dishes each time we come and they are all wonderful not just good. So we bring special friends to share the experience and see other tables celebrating family events. Great selections of wine and real Jamon from Spain. We have been a number of times loving their seafood beef pork ham and paella right out of Spain. Our special place now or to brighten up a holiday or weekend....or week day”

“Very nice vibe, live love music, and football available. Food looked really good, but my special recommendation is the Sangria Blanca. Delicious! Service is really friendly, and I would definitely come back next time when I’m in the city!”

“Great atmosphere but the food was not great during this particular visit. We ordered a lot of dishes and our favorite were the croquetas con jamón.”

“I love spanish restaurants provided they are really good and taste original as those old conquistadors in beautiful Spain really have a great kitchen. I had a really great meal - the beer was so good even though it was Heineken. Thete really is a lot of love in this restaurant - the cure is beautiful and the place in general is really something special.”

“1. It's better if you make a reservation 2. This restaurant has a good plates to eat in pairs and groups is more than enough. 3. If you don't make a reservation you can eat in the front of the restaurant with good tables and with calefactor. 4. La puerta de Alcalá was so fast with the food. As an advice try to have the plate in mind that you want to eat. 5. Enjoy the lunch or dinner with a wine as an option.”

“OK, having a favorite restaurant in Bogota is nearly impossible. But I have a list of favorites and this Spanish restaurant made it easily on it. The ambience is genuine and very tasteful decorated, what makes it a unique place of Spanish “gemütlichkeit”. The selection on tapas and paellas is just excellent. The highlight however was a stunning two hour flamenco performance of a brilliant local flamenco trio!!! I will come back, just to experience them again in this particular ambience again.”

“This place was a life saver after an awful experience in a restaurant a couple doors away. And it turned to be more than just a life saver; great service, amazing food and fair prices. My order was some Spanish tapas to share with my friend. We had the "Montaditos de salmón", smoked salmon, cream cheese, red bell pepper, and arugula on top of bread slices; a generous amount of tasty salmon, big enough to overcome the favor of both the bread and the arugula without totally vanishing them. Also tried the "Patatas bravas", boiled potatoes, diced and slightly fried, and then served with a traditional Spanish spicy sauce; good in flavor and size, the bite size the potatoes are diced to are perfect for the mix with the sauce as both flavors combine. Third dish was "Camarones al ajillo", shrimps cooked in garlic and herbs; slightly strong in smell as it should be expected from a garlic sauce, but the flavor was not as overwhelming and actually turned to be a great choice with fantastic texture. Finally, the final one was "Huevos estrellados", a bed of fries with scrambled eggs and Serrano ham on top; kudos on the ham, and the size of the dishes was very good taking into account the regular price of that kind of ham, great taste overall”
