One of my favorite places in nyc because the staff are amazing & the food is authentic! The sangria and the ham & cheese croquettes are a must. And so is the Tres Leches (for dessert) for that matter.
Edlin ChoiApril 11, 2012So many good tapas to choose from. Didn't even get to the paella. Bacon wrapped shrimp was underwhelming but the croquetas were bomb. Check in on foursquare for free sangria. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Nicolette RomeroNovember 10, 2014Cozy and cute with authentic tapas. A pitcher of sangria is a must when you come here.
Rochenne KoganMarch 13, 2011They have great sangria, yummy tapas but be weary of the staff because they complain that the boss is always looking for proof of check-ins. So be bold and show them!
Lexi RuscilApril 4, 2012The best tapas in the east village!!! And you get a free sangria with check in!!!
DeShaun HarrisApril 23, 2011I went here w/high expectations for flavorful Spanish faire-especially the gambas al ajillo (always a fave) - but was disappointed. Nthg on the Plato Mixto was well-seasoned, even the bread was soggy!
TanyaDecember 22, 2012Paella was good but on the saltier side, tapas were overpriced, service was slow, didn't even try the sangria. Any other competition in the neighborhood?
Kimberly JonesJanuary 3, 2012the paella was very disappointing (aka the "rice a roni" of paella in NYC)
Harsh PatelAugust 19, 2012It's only 2 free sangrias. And they don't tell you that until the end. Nor is it in the terms. And pitchers of sangrias aren't discounted for checking in. Bad service.
Calvin DongJune 15, 2013Typically don't leave negative reviews. But tonight's dinner was just too underwhelming...
J DubsOctober 28, 2012Tapas were expensive for what you get, paella was overcooked and salty, service was mediocre but the sangria was decent.

"Great flavorful and moist roast chicken for a bargain. Get the $10 whole roast chicken with rice & beans and spread it out for 2 or three meals throughout the week."
Brian B - 8.0
"Get yellow rice, chicken stew and plantains it's so good. One platter is enough for two people or two meals."

"Awesome view. Great lounge. Food isn't spectacular but overall great experience. Good for groups, date night, girls night, engagement party."
