Cara: Delicious brunch whether you're ordering tapas or brunch classics. The size-to-price ratio on tapas is better than most places, & cocktails are incredible. Brunch service was shaky & a little slow.
Adrian Farina: Excellent wine selection. Tapas are good, paella is very good, and service is knowledgeable and very nice.
D s: All the tapas are great. Especially the gambas I advise you order it.

Washingtonian Magazine: Tapas we’ve been loving for years include goat-cheese-stuffed red peppers, crusty bread rubbed with tomatoes & layered with thinly sliced Manchego, a textbook gazpacho, & warm dates wrapped in bacon.
Scott H: Loved it... The Gambas de ajillo was the best tapas I have had...the sangria is great and strong...a definite must place to eat if you are in town...
Pedro Ivo Salomao: Tasting traditional tapas menu (50usd) is a great option. Different tapas to try (all of them tasted really good) out and a fantastic service. You cant go wrong - one of the best tapas restaurants

AmateurConcierge: Big beautiful dining room with seafood centric Spanish tapas. Pan con tomate, tuna app and the churros are a must. Paella was aiite
Saaran Zaman: The service was terrible, had to wait over 80 mins for the main courses. The tapas were average but the grilled squid was standout. The churros were mind blowingly good. Churros saved this place.
Bryan Powell: Not that great for the amount of money. The paella has good flavor although was very oily. Some of the tapas plates were really good. Mark up on the bottles of wine is crazy.
