Fabulous food! Out of my order, I like the potato bravas and mushroom croquettes the most in terms of taste. The presentation of pork belly and slow cooked octopus is very nice.

Been looking forward to try this tapas place and it did not disappoint. There are a variety of paella to order and the tapas also tastes amazing. Look forward to our next visit!

Unique little spot with lots of sharing appetizers (tapas). I would say they are on the smaller portion size so you may need more than you'd expect.It's a bit of a small room that fills up quick and gets kind of loud, but the ambiance is still cozy and personal. I would definitely bring my wife out on a date here.Their beer selection was small with just one ipa but it was an outstanding choice, wine is definitely the drink to go along with the vibes.The food was good, and the service was great. Next time I have a chance to come here I will definitely order the paella.

This place is never open. It says it is open online and on food delivery sites. However, when you go there to pick up your order, restaurant is closed.

Cozy tapas bar in Berkeley with small plates and paella. We shared 5 small plates between two people and were satisfied. Out of the 5 dishes I recommend the boar meatballs and mushroom croquetas. The food was pretty good but not as delicious or interesting as we were hoping for. We made a reservation for bar seating and had plenty of space for multiple plates and were not too close to others.

Great take on Spanish food. We got a few tapas (bravas are a must) and then got a paella for two. It was way too much food as the portions are decent, so we took some home with us.

I was really craving a burger, so I thought I would give this place a try. The location is inside La Marcha, and if there is any signage that this is the same location, it is not very apparent from the street. Inside, there was one young server running around doing everything- he was very nice, but he didn't have any support and it appears as though there were other employees there standing around the bar talking.The idea of a burger with a twist on the cheese really appealed to me, so I ordered the El Clásico to go. The food took some time, but I didn't mind sitting while I waited. When I got back to my office and went to eat though... the burger was missing the patty. The cheese croqueta was decent, definitely had promise, but I can't recommend any place that leaves the meat out of a burger and doesn't deliver what you ordered. I'm now stuck at my office for the rest of the day- hungry, disappointed, and just overall unsatisfied.

The food here is so delicious and the sangria also tastes so good.I wanted to go there today too, but I couldn't go because it's the Independence Day holiday.The outdoor seating is wonderful too.

Tapas are good. But the paella is to be avoided - the saltiest I have had in my long life. Even got a headache from the salt… Unfortunately the kitchen forgot to make my paella, and the waitress only realized that One hour after we had ordered, which meant we had to wait another 45 minutes to eat. All of that on the night we went out to celebrate my birthday, so you can imagine how disappointed I felt - other than the tardiness and the paella not being one to go there for, the other issue is that they are back to putting their tables super close to each other (less than 15 inches separated us from the other tables to our right and left): I know this is not just them, but every restaurant in the area, and it feels horrible, overcrowded, and, after having lived through COVID, extremely unhealthy.

Great lunch spot when I am in the East Bay! Love the burger, can't wait to go back. Delicious!

What an awesome lunch option right out of the La Marcha space! Great spin on a burger with delicious Spanish style croqueta patty.

Had been craving decent Spanish food for a while and finally checked this one off from my list! The calamares (fried squid) with special sauce (the one in black) and Mariners are amazing. As a group of three, we were pretty full and satisfied with three appetizers and one paella. Highly recommend to make reservations, we were lucky to get the bar seats without booking in advance.

Amazing tapas and a great wine selection! Come here for a culinary adventure with someone you’re hoping to have a long and delicious dinner with. The service was a bit slow but kind, and hey, we weren’t rushed. Everything was delicious-seriously, you can’t go wrong! The vegan paella was a stand out for us plant lovers.

Came in around 11:15 am. Opening is 11am. Was not greeted or acknowledged for about 10 minutes. We were then seated and told to look over the menu through a QR code on the table. BTW, love that more restaurants are now utilizing this resource more. We came on the last day of Berkeley Restaurant Week. The special was 2 burgers of your choice and half a liter of Sangria for $25. Great deal. Their burgers range from $15 to $20. Ordered the El Clasico (carmen ranch grass fed beef patty, manchego cheese croqueta, CB sauce, lettuce, red onion, bone marrow butter, acme bun) and Pollo Bravo (Spicy chicken & gruyere croqueta, serrano pepper slaw, garlic pickles, spicy brava aioli, acme bun). Both came with a side of arugula salad. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The cheese croqueta was rich, gooey and squirted out like a gusher. The reason for the 3 star review was because of the service. During our time dining we were never once checked on. Would be understandable, if it were busy, but there was only one other couple and a single person ordering for takeout. 5 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service. Will definitely be ordering again, but only through delivery.
