We were lucky to snag a table on Halloween night, it was so festive. This place has been around forever, and you can feel the old-world Spanish charm in the décor. The food is still as consistent as ever. The paella marinara with lobster is so good, and the shrimp in garlic sauce was superb. The little calderos they serve the dishes in look original—dented in all the right places from years of use, which adds to the charm. Service was okay, could’ve been better, but it was a busy night. Overall,
Easter dinner with my husband, the staff welcomed us with a friendly smile. We asked if the sangria was made by the house bartender not the box one . Very disappointed with the quality that we got. Our first tapas was the grill octopus that was so salty very hard to finish. Must say the texture was perfect. Scallops was our second choice with garlic taste was good presentation not to appealing. Empanadillas over fried/ cod . Desert choice flan pleasant not sugary . Not the best spaniel restauran
Nice spot with tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. The service was decent — polite and efficient, though not outstanding. Prices are fair. We had the Mariscada with Egg Sauce (mixed seafood in a cream sauce) — it was delicious! We also tried the octopus, and honestly, it was the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The only things I’d suggest are removing the TV, as it doesn’t really match the restaurant’s vibe, and turning the music up just a bit to create a cozier ambian
