"Service was quick, attentive and informative. Waitress explained the Tapas concept to the table and recommended that if we were doing tapas as our meal to get 2-3 per person and share. If you are getting the paella - it will take 40-45 minutes to prepare and just get a couple of tapas to tide you over.
Drinks were a large pitcher of sangria - taste was decent, but very little fruit and a lot of ice to the point it almost seemed watered down just a bit - HINT - add more fruit, use less ice.
Table of four (4) shared 12 tapas. Each tapas was priced between 7.50 and 11.00 so it will add up.
Overall, pretty good visit, but expect to drop a Benjamin to include drinks and dessert. Worth a trip to experience a taste of Spain."

"If you have not tried this Benson neighborhood gem, you are missing out.....on a great selection of tapas to suit any taste. The atmosphere is welcoming and energetic. The customers are engaged and obviously enjoying themselves, overseen by Carlos, one of the best & most creative managers around. We have never been disappointed and, like many who visit, are now regulars."

"menu was prix fixe only on valentine's day - very small number of offerings, and of the four that we ordered, only one was well-done. great ambiance and service but poor execution on the tapas and overly limited menu. Too bad."

"The food was unusual and very tasty with a wide variety from which to choose. We had 11 selections of toppas for 4 people, and ate them all. The margharitas were very good! It is a small, quaint little establishment. The only suggestion would be to eliminate the Mexican guitarist. Because it is such a small venue, the music was too loud making it difficult to carry on a conversation. We were right back by the guitarist. Overall our experience was exceptional, and we would definitely recommend it to others and come back."

"We have been here many times and brought a couple who we're brand new to the venue. They were WOWED! The service was not nearly as attentive as in times past, and I hope it was simply an off night. We will be back, definitely, it is one of our favorites."

"We went on a Thursday evening and they had a gentleman playing guitar on their mini stage. It added great ambiance and was lovely listening to light guitar work while enjoying fabulous food. Everytime we come to España we thoroughly enjoy ourselves, the ambiance and most importantly the food. The chefs have perfected what they do and we love to try new things and old favorites everytime we go."
