Tapas Valencia

First time visiting. Very professional, attentive staff. There was a problem with valet parking and the restaurant manager handled it right away and very professionally. My party decided to order enough to sample items, which worked out beautifully. All of the food was fresh and brought out in a timely fashion. Our server immediately cleared any used dishes to make room for new ones. The atmosphere was pleasant and I especially enjoyed not being rushed out of the restaurant even after our meal was finished.

Husband and I are from Florida and make it a point to visit each trip to Chicago. Easy access from the city on the red linr. He has celiac disease and has not had any problems. We love the variety and quality of the dishes. The service has always been excellent. Thoroughly enjoy our visits to Tapas Valencia!

Afternoon outing to Tapas Valencia Yesterday Such a beautiful memory to celebrate this special occasion with our family Roger and Caterina 40th anniversary. It’s a blessing to see them together this long and still going strong. This night was amazing the food was delicious and the drinks were really good too. Me and my family want to plan another visit back here soon. We were doubting this restaurant but we enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff and the food was a plus.

The service was okay, but the overall experience was disappointing. The menu claims to offer “tapas,” but don’t be fooled. These are not tapas; they’re oversized, shareable plates that completely miss the mark. While the food tasted fine, the portions were underwhelming if you’re expecting true tapas-style dining. The drink menu was another letdown. There are no authentic Spanish options—just mezcal, tequila, and flavored margaritas. Where’s the vermouth or classic Spanish cocktails? Even the house wine was served at the wrong temperature and tasted watered down. I ordered four “tapas”—piquillo peppers, skirt steak, chorizos, and pasta (yes, pasta at a supposed Spanish restaurant). The only dish remotely close to a tapas portion was the chorizos. Avoid this place if you want authentic tapas. It’s just a wannabe Spanish restaurant with oversized dishes and a lack of authenticity. Despite its name, Tapas Valencia fails to deliver genuine Spanish dining.

Very lovely 😍 spot. Good looking and charming staff. The tapas was good 👍🏾 overall. For the lemon chicken, it was tasty but a little tough. My drink was gorgeous but a bit watery. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We sat at bar and it was very nice. I ordered five tapas and was full! Three or four next time perhaps. The bacon 🥓 wrapped dates were fabulous and the meatball delicious 😋. I want to try the beef next visit. And a dessert 🍨.

Fire dinner spot! Fabulous service from Brian who went above and beyond! Queso de cabra was AMAZING and I cannot recommend enough! Other highlights are the Pipirrana de Buey and the flan. Ok but not great: paella, patates bravas, and sangria flight. Would recommend!

My wife and I ate here on a Friday night at 8:00 pm. We did not have reservations, but they said they could seat us. We ended up at an awkward table where we could not sit across from each other. The wait or came over quickly and was almost too friendly it came off to me as insincere. We ordered two cocktails immediately and then a papaya. We then ordered 3 tapas dishes. The server twice came over and said your drink will be right here, but it took 25 min for 2 cocktails. As soon as he brought them, our tapas arrived. We had no time to enjoy our cocktails before food was on our table. The food was good, with the exception of one potatoe dish, which lacked seasoning. The atmosphere was not my favorite, but that's just my opinion. I am not sure if I would dine here again. Our bill was $93 without tip.

The food lacked some flavor, being a Tapas restaurant was a bit disappointed compared to others we've visited. It's worth trying, but keep your expectations at a minimum! Service was great, sangrías were delicious, try the flight so you can try some of their flavors! Pomegranate and pear was best choice for us..

Came here to try their tapas. Was pleasantly surprised to learn they are by the same owners as Meson Sabika! The ambiance was very nice, slightly dimly lit but not too intimidatingly formal or casual - would be a safe place for a lot of different occasions. Service was really nice and they came by often. Tapas selections: - Patatas bravas - had enough manchego cheese but was a bit salty - Queso de Cabra - staple favorite, really flavorful! - Champiñones Rellenos - a bit oily but still stuffed well, you get a good portion (4 big sizes) - Alcachofas a la Mostaza - didn't exactly look like the website photo - didn't come with greens, was just artichokes and vinegar drizzle, was pretty sour and tough to eat, but the garlic made it easier! I would definitely return! I would just stick with my favorites only. If you're a vegetarian it can be tough to justify tapas unless it blows your socks off, and it unfortunately was more in mid range per my preferences and how plates were cooked.

Great Sunday night dinner with our daughter. The drinks and specials were delicious! The service was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Our server was great! We had the Crema de Champiñones, Queso de Cabra, Pollo al Limon, and Arroz con Jamón Serrano. Two of these were from the specials menu and I hope they keep them. The Spanish music created a great ambiance and we were able to get a table without a reservation.

I highly recommend coming here for tapas. They have a wide selection of tapas which I love. They had live music when I went which was on Friday. The service was a bit slow for my liking but the food was delicious! This is one of the better tapas place food wise. I loved the datiles con tocino, patatas bravas, and the and the Empanada de Buey, but everything else we ordered was declined as well. I would have loved to try more items on their menu but I was so full. Their sangrias are also delicious and reasonably priced as well. For happy hour, they have half off tapas which is a good deal as well. I wish I lived a bit closer even though I walked here but it was a very long walk. The walk was more so to feel better after eating so much but it was worth it.

This is a fun date night. There is a spacious bar, cute decor and on Friday there was live music with Spanish guitar. Great happy hour deal, $3 small bites at the bar. Also, they have the BEST olives on the planet. The menu has great variety. I recommend the grilled shrimp, the goat cheese apps, and the skirt steak with blue cheese.

Walked in after a day at the McCormick. Had a big group but we were still accomodated properly. I forgot the name of the server but he was awesome. Where he's getting his energy from, i have no idea. Food was phenomenal, everything that was recommended and we tried were good. Service was exveptional and place had a good vibe.

Came here for a Sunday solo brunch. I sat at the bar and the service was great. I was surprised how empty the bar was during brunch time. I ordered the Huevos Estilo Valencia that was tasty. The reason for 4 stars is that the mimosas were super heavy on the orange juice and not worth the price. I would return for dinner sometime.

There was so much to like about Tapas Valencia and yet I don't feel I can give them more than 3 stars....possibly 3.5, but can't do 4 stars. This was another pick for Restaurant Week 2023, so this was my first time here. Let's start with the pros: interesting interior with a funky vibe. Great mosaic art on the back walls that was very pretty. The tables are of a nice size, so the four top we had was able to accommodate a fair number of dishes. I highly recommend the Sangria Flight. The Queen got this and you pick four flavors from a selection of Strawberry, Peach, Prickly Pear, Mango, Pomegranate or Watermelon. I sampled all four and they were delish. Have to say I was surprised by the size of the glasses that were use and in a pleasant way as it was a decent pour for each one. For dinner we went with the restaurant week menu. First course was Ibéricos de la Casa (Iberico cured meats served with Marcona almonds, Piparra peppers, olives, and tomato bread). Interesting that there was no cheese, but the tomato bread was amazing as well as the meats. For the second course, we had the Costilla Riojana (slow roasted beef short ribs served with white truffle oil infused purée potatoes, wild mushrooms, and a red wine sauce) and Branzino a la Plancha (grilled Mediterranean Sea bass served with sautéed kale, quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes and a lemon butter sauce). Both of these dishes were wonderful, with me sampling the fish dish and loving it. As a note, I am not a fish eater, so for me to say it was good is a compliment. In addition we got two additional small plates: Calamares a la Plancha (grilled squid with garlic olive oil and Albondigas con Almendras (lamb, beef, and pork meatballs served with spicy tomato sauce and toasted almonds). Absolutely delish! Dessert was Pastel de Bailey's (Bailey's infused cheesecake with chocolate chips on hazelnut crust, served with raspberry sauce) and Pastel de Tres Sabores (Tri-layered cake of chocolate sponge infused with grand Torres orange liqueur; cava infused chocolate mousse; and liquor 43 infused caramel mousse). Not really a cheesecake fan so I can't speak on it, but The Doctor and Queen loved it. I had the Pastel de Tres Sabores and that was lovely. Now for the cons: there were no prices on the menu online, so I was not able to get a read on the wine situation in terms of price. I took a bottle of Veuve Clicquot with me and had to pay a $25 corkage fee, which I feel is high. Once we sat down and got menus, I could see that they had pretty decent prices for cavas, with the most expensive one being $39. FYI, corkage fee is per bottle. Prices for some of the small plates is high based on the portion size. If you look at the grilled squid, this was almost a $20 dish, clocking in at $17.95. As great as it was, there was not that much there. Same for the meatballs, very good but small in size. For dinner, the menu clearly stated that I would be getting an entrée, not a small plate or tapas, but an entrée. As you can see from the photo, the short rib had just enough meat to possible put on a slider bun. For $42 I actually expect to eat an entrée, not a small plate. Now the fish dish was clearly closer to an entrée portion. Our server Victoria was wonderful and took good care of us. Now would I come back here, most definitely but probably to check out the $3 bar bites instead. I totally understand the concept of tapas as I have been to Spain and other great restaurants. And normally prices downtown don't bother me, but due to amount of food for some of what we got, I would not do dinner here. I really wanted to love this place and I will most likely go back and possibly revisit my review, but this is where I stand for now.

Great tapas and food!! We loved everything we ordered! The kids reordered TWICE of off the kids menu too! We had the bacon wrapped dates, patatas bravas, queso de Cabra. Sangria, octopus, and all was amazing! Service was really great too!

Service was perfect. We sat outside, and the waiter was not only pleasant but extremely accommodating as well as attentive but not in a pushy way. He not only addressed our likes on food but also our tastebuds. He asked what we liked, and from there, it became easy street. Highly recommend the prickly pear sangria, and if you like fruit, this is the one. They have several to choose from, but this one was simply perfect. We had the calamari on potatoe tapas, and although it could be shared, it was only 3 pieces and maybe enough for 1. But it worked out for us. The paella was delicious but of course average for my taste. I've had better, but this one was delicious. The flan was seriously good. I would eat that again and again. Its texture was really velvety, and the slivhered almonds gave it the perfect balance. All in all, I would definitely recommend this Spanish restaurant, but parking is a hassle, and it can be pricey.

Wow, what a spectacular meal! Came here for dinner after I'd heard great things about this restaurant from local South Loop friends. As indicated by the name, the specialty is tapas, small dishes meant to be shared between a group. Each tapas dish is sized like a small appetizer, so between 5 of us we ordered 7 dishes, plus the paella and dessert. Everything was delicious, but if I had to pick my favorites: 1) Pipirriana de Buey - skirt steak, potatoes, and onions smothered in cream sauce and blue cheese. 2) Empanada de Buey - a crispy puff pastry filled with seasoned ground beef. 3) Paella Valenciana - seafood paella with mussels, clams, and chicken (tip: it takes 45 minutes to make so order it first thing, especially if you are undecided on what else to order or you're waiting on guests). The service was excellent--our waiter was just the right amount of present and very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was great for a group, dimly lit and a great vibe for a casual group dinner or a romantic dinner for two as well! I'll definitely be coming back!

Great food and service! We sat inside because it was so hot out today but the patio looked really nice. Nice decor and fun music inside. Usually with tapas I order WAY too much but our server was really helpful with guiding us on how much to get - it was the perfect amount. Very reasonably priced too for how much we got, including a pitcher of sangria.

I now consider this restaurant to be my neighborhood office! I love the fact that I can pull up take my keys in for free valet parking. During happy hour at the bar I enjoy $3 tapas plates! The food, drinks and deserts are delicious! The staff were friendly too! And love the days when there is live music and the decor and atmosphere is relaxing. Seriously becoming one of my favorite neighborhood places.

DO NOT COME HERE DURING RESTAURANT WEEK!!!!Womp womp wooommmmp! Biggest let down ever during restaurant week!!!! We actually had guests come in from LA and we chose this place because we knew in the past how great it was. Also, we couldn't say no since they had great choices from their courses to choose from. Our server was great but what was weird is how long the food took to actually come out and there was barely anyone in the joint. We ordered and got our appetizers first: they were really good especially the garlic potato salad. The sangria was ok but a bit watered down. We then are asked if we are ready for the entrees and we were but then 15 mins passed by..... waiting ..... another 20 and we are told the bad news is they do not have the halibut we ordered but they are just going to sub with salmon..... we asked if there was any other option as this was def not a great substitute. The chef literally came out with three plates of the steak option 10 mins later - no sorry- no explanation, nothing. We all cut into the meat and it was as raw dog as you could get in the middle. Maybe that's your thing and maybe you like to just be told what you're going to eat by someone but the experience was mortifying for out of town guests. We asked to get the sides of the halibut dish as the steak dish had truffle oil that the person was allergic to and our server made sure to rectify the situation- he was the only one to actually care in the situation as our friend just decided not to eat the meal or want to say anything. Dessert was good - nothing special but it took a good 35 mins to get the plates. It's was a sad night to say the least. Super awesome server but as for the restaurant as a whole it sounds like there's no communication between anyone because the server said they ran out of halibut since the day before and he was not aware until then. No manager, no chef, no one came to our table. No one spoke up except the server and we explained how it wasn't his fault and appreciated him trying to problem solve the situation. Will not return to here.... We would have been better off at a portillos at this point :( so sad to see this place go downhill after many years of great meals and service.

Been here many times and this place never disappoints. Very large menu that has the standard favorites that don't change (please don't ever get rid of the queso de cabra!!), and some seasonal tapas that rotate. We love to get 2-3 plates per person when we go. Also ...sangria flights!!! Enough said.

Valet parking, big space, great distance between tables feel clean feel safe here. Grill calamari, grill octopus, grill shrimp with butter sauce, grill scallops, grill lamb chop with red wine sauce every dish we try was the best. Great portions well balanced of flavors. Every dish have piece of lemon to add another layer of flavor. Just perfect. Not the best sangria but definitely value. One pitcher probably one bottle of red wine in there. Must try dessert plater. All dessert here are perfect flavor and textures. Absolute not too rich and finished them with cup of cappuccino. Perfect dinner for us.

Such a perfect place for big groups bc tapas taste better when shared (obvi). Attentive, kind servers. Loved the queso de cabra and their vegetarian paella banged. Also loved their Mediterranean Mule

Cannot complain about this place. Great vibes with the choice of music. Drinks are flavorful and delicious. Food options? The best... you will have to come back to try all the tapa options they have. I have been three times and I still have to try them all. They have many people serving you at all times, so you get to enjoy your food while your drink never goes dry.

This restaurant was a lot bigger than it looked on the outside. It is very nicely decorated and definitely reminded me of Barcelona designs and architecture. We were seated immediately and offered drinks. All the food was very delicious with lots of flavor, however with the prices we paid, we expected bigger portions (at least to be able to take food home). The desserts were delicious and overall the service was great. I think next time I'll try the paella as I'm sure that would be a bigger portion.

The food's delicious. Just be careful what you order. One time I thought I was ordering a pork dish because I thought chuleta only ever refers to pork. The server brought lamb, and we asked to take it back because I didn't want lamb. She argued with me over a miscommunication. The food and the atmosphere are on point, the service could've been better.

I hosted a work dinner for 92 conference attendees and the team was fantastic! They were very timely and communicative during our planning, and helped us figure out the best choices and format for our event, including working around dietary restrictions. On the day of the service tram was well organized, super helpful, accommodating of last minute individual needs, and kept the event flowing on time. All of the food was delicious and the ambiance was lively and encouraged good networking. Highly recommend for large parties!

Had a nice time here for my cousins birthday. The food was good but nothing outstanding. The waitress was very nice and helped us pick out some of our dishes. The spicy margarita was good, but the spice and ice cucumber cocktail was outstanding. We were able to have a good lively conversation and still hear each other which is always nice. Only taking away a star because the food was just average when it comes to tapas.

We ordered a mix of cold and hot tapas and they were all alright. Our favorite was the queso de cobra, which is essentially goat cheese baked in tomato sauce! The dish is served with garlic bread and makes for a wonderful combination Though the food wasn't fantastic, I am impressed by their big menu and may come back again to try their other dishes.

We came for brunch and this place was fantastic! Very attentive. Very knowledgeable about the menu. Courteous service. The atmosphere feels upscale. And the food. Oh my goodness, everything we got was amazing!! The sangria flight was very good. My favorite tapas was the Pimientos del Piquillo - SO GOOD. And you absolutely have to get the churros!!! Go here!!

This is a great neighborhood tapas restaurant. I've brought guests and family here for different occasions. The mood is generally pretty upbeat and energetic. Great place to go if you're looking to celebrate an event or disconnect after a long work day. The food is quality is consistently delicious! I recommend the Solomillos a la Plancha and Albondigas con Almendras.

Doesn't look like much from the outside and we had never heard of it until it randomly popped up in a tapas search when we were looking for a dinner spot. Everything was great! The atmosphere was ok- looked kind of retro but not in the best way. Other than that the staff and food were both fantastic and I would absolutely recommend checking it out. They had a large selection of the different tapas style and everything we ate was delicious!

I simply love this restaurant. I've been coming here for many years and it is still my go to for any anniversary, birthday, graduation, bad day.. you name it, I'm there! The service is always great, especially this last time I went and regret not taking the waiters name as he was the best waiter. We started out with Pincho de Solomillo which is very tender beef tenderloin and a horseradish dip. Only regret is that I didn't order another dish of this tasty dish. The 2nd was the Croquetas de Jamón y Pollo which is usually the reason I crave Tapas. They are very crispy, tender on the inside and the tomato sauce is delish. Also on the table was the Pincho de Pollo which is also very tender and flavorful with a nice cream based sauce which I also dip my patatas bravas into. We ordered a few more dishes like the champiñones Rellenos and dátiles de tocino along with a flight of sangria which will leave you feeling very content. For the birthday boy we ordered the Tarta de Chocolate y Caramelo. This was such a delectable dessert that was creamy and not overwhelming with chocolate. Amazing food! Fantastic

One of my favorite places in the city for dates, group outings and even solo missions. Staff is always smiling and greeting you upon entrance and the vibe here is very chill and cool. Truly some of the best tapas you will get in the city..hands down! The sangria is always on point and they have different variations. Red is my favorite, but the white, strawberry, pomegranate and peach sangrias are very good as well. Full bar here so you can get beer, wine or whatever floats your boat. The Paella here is as good as any that I had in Barcelona. Keep it in mind that it takes awhile to make so give it about 40 minutes to come out of the kitchen after ordering. There are different versions but I enjoy the Valenciana Paella which includes saffron rice, shrimp, chicken, mussels and clams. Very delicious! I normally order some starters to tide me over until the paella comes out. See below.... Bacon Wrapped Dates Patatas Bravas Croquetas de Jamon y Pollo Grilled Lamb Chops Grilled Octopus Good spot in a good location! I recommend!

Tapas Valencia is a gem in South Loop - accessible, great food, flexible ambiance from sit down to the bar. For the food, there are enough vegetarian tapas to keep me satisfied. Vegetables, potatoes (yes I guess that's also a vegetable), cheeses, etc are all solid. Good cocktail options and sangria. Solid chocolate dessert choices (and non chocolate, but those are not for me to comment on). Oh and they have complimentary valet, but street parking is generally easy. Just a great go to place. Wish we had come more when we lived in South Loop!

We made reservations for the night of the Rolling Stones concert and were greeted at the door by the manager Jose. My Mom was in a wheelchair and he went out of his way to ensure our car was valet parked in the garage of the building where he gave us his personal number so he could give us access to the garage late in the evening. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant was cool! We really appreciate Jose making our evening so special -- thank you!

Delicious and great service. Had the patatas, queso de cabra, albóndigas, cordero and paella. We loved it all.

There is a large selection of food, which is great in a way, and there are lots of vegetarian and gluten free options available. The variety is definitely there, which goes hand in hand with having a large menu. The portion is on the smaller end, and you may have to order two dishes for one person if you really want to be full. In terms of taste, I would not say it is over the top amazing, but it is for sure solid, and there are some dishes worth getting twice! I had the Salteado de Hortalisas and I really enjoyed it. Overall also good atmosphere, especially since it is located among the residential areas of South Loop, which is convenient for people who live in that area

We've been to Meson Sabika, their sister restaurant, several times and we love it there. But we were closer to Tapas Valencia so we decided to give it a try since it was the same menu. And we left extremely happy! The food and service was amazing as always. And we cannot give enough praise to our server Bryan. He truly made our experience amazing from the moment he came to our table. Highly recommend the queso de cabra (ask for extra bread) and the pulpo con salsa verde!

Very good quality food. Stopped by for $3 tapas and ordered a pitcher of sangria. Super yummy

**Vegetarian Friendly** Hidden tapas spot in South Loop! The restaurant is larger than it looks with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We came for Happy Hour $3 Tapas! Who wouldn't be excited?! Happy Hour is only available at the bar, and requires one drink purchase. Overall, their food and drink menu is massive, there is something for everyone. They were able to alter many of the dishes to be vegetarian friendly. Personally, the regular menu is overpriced for tapas, but I highly recommend the Happy Hour!

We went here as a big group and probably tried everything on the menu. Service was impeccable. We asked our server for recommendations and they were all on point. The wine selection was great and we had a delectable and fun experience at Valencia

Great tapas of all kinds. The vegetable paella is soooooo good. The staff is super friendly. We have had several different servers and have never been disappointed. We met the owner one night and he was putting in work like everyone else. The setting inside is nice and the bar looks cool. You can wait there if you want a drink and watch tv; the ambiance is great for convo and not for trying to watch a game. If the weather is nice, sitting outside is cool but be careful if people zipping by on bicycles on the sidewalk. A true euro feel. I have Spanish friends that don't like it as much, but I really enjoy it. *****

Nice menu selection. The dining area very relaxing and spacious great service. Would have loved to taste all the entrees. next time.

Interesting Spanish oriented spot. Didn't eat much but what I had was good. It gets crowded so call ahead for reservations.

So this is like the sister restaurant of my fave restaurant Meson Sabika out in Naperville. They have the exact same menu and everything tastes SIMILAR.. not quite the same but still good to fix the craving when I can't get out to the burbs. The atmosphere and interior really needs an update. It feels like we're sitting in a dark buffet/cafeteria-style eatery. It does not match the prices or the vibe of the food being eaten.

Very tasty and nicely prepared dinner in tapas-style, delivered to the hotel. Gambas a la plancha, tortilla espanola, salpicon de mariscos, remolacha salad, queso de cabra, patatas bravas, and a crema catalana del meson were fresh, on point. Despite mentioning in the order that we would need utensils, none were delivered, which created a short action requirement to locate some (through the hotel).

I've been for brunch and dinner and both are reliably tasty! Tapas are always great for sharing and it's fun to get to try everything. Not the best tapas in the city, but certainly the best in the south loop.

SMALL PLATES BUT BIG FLAVORS. I'm such a sucker for tapas and drinks so I would definitely recommend Tapas Valencia. I only have pictures of 3 dishes but we got at least 10-15 between 6 people. Most dishes we tried were the hot tapas, my favorite (not pictured) were the empanadas. I wasn't the biggest fan of the fish because I felt like there could've been more flavor and seasoning. Don't skip out on their drinks! Their sangrias are refreshing and everything else I tried was delicious. Not going to lie, it's very pricey and is best for special occasions just because of how much you're going to order.

Ambiance was nice and cozy! This was my first visit at this establishment. Bonus is they have complimentary valet. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had a pomegranate martini which was good. Our tapas choices was the pollo limon with pasta,tiger shrimp, empanada, and the skirt steak. Everything was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We closed out the place not realizing the time but staff was kind and didn't make us feel rushed. I would definitely recommend and be back myself!

I didn't take any photos because it wasn't photo worthy ... The food was very mid ... don't get the octopus it's chewy and dry.. patatas is what we all survived off on the table lol Skirt steak wasn't bad hard to mess that up lol the goat cheese Queso con pacanas was very tasty!!! The chicken skewers were also just ok I will say the service was good our waitress suggested a drink to us that had sangria, Brandy, gin, triple sec, and rose we all loved that. I was gonna give it 3 stars but the ambiance and service is what is holding up this review to a 4. The restaurant was nice to look at. I recommend just stopping in and maybe sitting at the bar and doing something light rather than a dinner IMO

Food is usually good but this time it did not live up to what we expect. The food took too long to ge to us and it was not as good as usual.

We came to this place with high expectations and with the first cold tapas that arrived ( the Alaska King crab - 5/5), we thought we were in for a treat. Unfortunately as the rest of the dishes started to come through, we realized that we were unfortunately mistaken. The food here reminds me of airline food and was quite disappointing overall. The service is good though. My rating for the food alone would have been 2/5 but I bumped it to 3 for the service and cold drinks.

We made a reservation even though one may not be needed since there was still several tables available and it never got quite full. But better be safe than sorry and make a reservation. The inside was also beautiful and colorful. We got seated right away and quickly got our drinks. Our server was very prompt and attentive throughout our entire meal. They start you off with a complimentary cup of olives which I didn't really care for and they pretty much remained untouched. I ordered their sangria and it was tasty and refreshing. Soon after the plates started coming in. They started us off with an order of their Queso de Cabra. You get a nice little bowl of tomato basil sauce with oven baked goat cheese in the middle. Along with six slices of garlic bread. Truly a very delicious and flavorful dish, and they couldn't have picked a better dish to start us off with. I've never really had goat cheese before, but I have had birria, goat meat, and it's really crazy that they had a similar gamey taste. We also got an order of their pincho de pollo and patatas Bravas. The pincho de pollo is a grilled chicken skewer with chorizo and cumin mayonnaise. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but this mayo was actually quite tasty and tasted great with the grilled chicken. The chorizo was also tasty and didn't taste like your typical Mexican chorizo. The patatas bravas were also good although they really weren't spicy. But were covered with Manchego cheese, a sheep cheese that tasted similar to goat cheese but not as gamey. I've also never had bacon wrapped dates before, but have literally seen them on several menus around the city. I finally got to try them and was impressed on how delicious these tasted. You definitely get a sweet a savory bite with these. The datiles con tocino also came with a red pepper sauce that was absolutely delicious. And how could I forget my a favorite. Skirt steak. The Pipirrana de buey came with slices of perfectly grilled and seasoned, and mixed with grilled onions, potatoes and with cabrales blue cheese. I've never had blue cheese with skirt steak and it was actually a very good mix. By the time we were finished with all these tapas, we were getting quite full and started regretting ordering that Paella Valenciana. It took 45 minutes to cook and by the time it made our table, we were stuffed. It was beautifully plated and came with chicken, shrimp, mussels and clams. It was very delicious and I somehow managed to get a couple of good bites. You also get a free dessert with a yelp check in! Gotta love those. Yet again we were so stuffed that we were almost going to pass off this amazing offer. Fortunately, for us we didn't and decided on their Churros con Chocolate. The churros were so soft and tasted amazing with the chocolate sauce it came with and ice cream to balance off the flavors. Everything I ate I enjoyed and wouldn't mind trying them again. I will absolutely be returning, but would probably have to regretfully try other menu items when we do return.

Came here over the weekend to have lunch with my boyfriend. He likes to try different restaurant and he came across to this place not too far from my house. The interior design of the place is very colorful. The servers are friendly. We order a paella and four dishes. The food are delicious. Street parking. Would recommend and come back again to try other dishes.

While this place came highly recommended we did not enjoy ourselves. In fact, we received multiple gift cards here and went back on three separate occasions in order to fairly judge the place. The service was very slow and in one instance rude. The food sounded good but was dry on multiple occasions. However, They do have fun outdoor seating and a nice vibe inside.
