Simply amazing. The bacon wrapped dates and the sardine crostini are incredible. Service is slow but it is totally worth the wait. Go in a group because it is fun to have family style dining!

This is starting to be my fave laid back spot! Happy Hour is great, I always order the patatas bravas and empanadas. Delicious!

Chicken empanada and Canelones de la huerta (stuffed cheese roll) were AMAZING. Brocheta de pollo, Paella mixta, and Brocheta de mariso (shrimp and bacon-wrapped scallops) were stand-outs too.

The bacon wrapped dates are delicious. The pear tart was tasty, but the cherry glaze that it was drizzled with tasted like cough syrup.

The música, the service... Everything is great. It just needs to be cleaner... The carpet and tables up on the lounge were all sticky. Gross!

If your sandal breaks in the area you are either screwed or you can stop at the GAP and buy new ones. I bought new ones. Well my wife bought me new ones then we stopped here because we want sangria.

The tapas there are great! Make sure you get more than 3 dishes though if you are with one other person. The portions are small but the food and atmosphere is great!

The food was excellent the waitstaff was very slow and our table was very dimly lit where I needed to use a flashlight to look at the menu

The bacon wrapped dates and pork dishes are good, but everything else was just okay. Didn't care for the sangria either, too sweet with not much flavor

Happy hour 4-7 with $4 tapas and sangria.
Jason RozenblatJuly 25, 2012
Didn't like that they brought everything out all at once; some dishes got cold. Pork was overcooked. Highlights were bacon wrapped dates and meatballs. Great service.
