Jenny LJuly 14, 2013Amazing food. We had a beet salad cannot remember the name of it but I was amazed. For the main meal we had to go with the paella which was out of this world good. It serves 2-3 people. Will go again
Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 6, 2015The whimsy of apple foam and the delicacy of that chiseled eggshell were outliers. Most of our dishes were middle-of-the-road Spanish fare, though usually with just enough of an accent to seem fresh. Read more
KieraDecember 12, 2013Great recommendations from the server, nice wine and beer for happy hour. Only problem...the chef was getting a back massage from a waitress while we were sitting at the bar. Weird.
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2011One of the best spanish spots in NoLibs and a pick for our 2011 list of Best Restaurants in Philly! Be sure to check out the live flamenco dancers every first Friday. Read more- Philadelphia MagazineFebruary 28, 2011Try the Patatas bravas. Fried Yukon gold chunks, served with a just-a-tiny-bit-spicy tomato sauce and squiggles of aioli, are the perfect item to snack on while drinking, Spanish-style. Read more
Manchego frito is amazing. Perfect blend of warm and cool all in one bite.
Philly.comAugust 3, 2014It's deafeningly loud, but with beautiful decor, nice wines, and affordable proper tapas, the crowds are bound to grow. Read more
Sandrine Eat N DrinkAugust 11, 2012House wines for $4 y tortilla española $5. Or splurge on Sidra del país vasco (cider from basque country) $13 y Salpicón di gambas $7.
Ask to try the fermented morcilla. And then ask who cures the meats. Absolutely adorable.- Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 3, 2011Don’t miss the pixin con pancetta – a small skewer of fabulously fatty pork belly paired with salty monkfish and seasoned with rosemary. Read more
Tyler ShapiroSeptember 28, 2011Food was great but prices are all over the place, sandwiches are amazing and huge at $6 , stuffed dates were good but $6 only buys you 4 dates?
Barrett LaneOctober 13, 2012Get the fried lamb tongue over chick pea mash. So good you won't regret it.
Kristen WargoDecember 1, 2011Half priced bottles of wine and pitchers of sangria Monday before seven. My bf and I both cleared our plates for the first time ever!
Get their pork belly, it'll be the best pork belly you've ever have'
Allie IlaganApril 5, 2010Go there on Thurs nights for the chef's tasting menu. 13 made-for-sharing plates for $35. Phenomenal and changes weekly!
Jennifer SuppleeMay 25, 2010White Sangria is a let down but the tapa- Pastel de Pastor (lamb, mashed potatoes) are amazing!!!
Meridyth OrnerAugust 9, 2010Half-priced whole bottles of wines on Mondays. Love the Treixadura Torrontés when it's $21!
Try Lavender Lemonade w Rosemary! Bartender w glasses is confused and mixed up check 3 x
Go there for brunch on Saturday or Sunday and get the fried cider soaked bread with cinnamon ice cream.

"Pork sandwich is a must try. Selection of rotating taps never disappoints."

"Their Mexican is tex-mex and they fully admit it. Great tasting, but don't count it as authentic. Meanwhile the BBQ is delicious as well. The sandwiches are huge & try their BBQ sauces!"
