Showed up a little early & got seated early. Wonderful meal with my friend. Neither of us had ordered the cheese plate before & we devoured everything. Our server was sweet & recommended a good dessert that was not on the normal menu. It was delicious! Always a good spot for good food & good wine.
Love this spot so much! Had a great time at the bar catching up with a friend and everything was great!
The food was amazing. There were several options I wanted to order ,but each time, I was told they didn't have them. Each order of croquetas came with 3 small croquetas and an order of scallops also with three which wad delicious but overpriced for the quantity.
This spot is AMAZING. Tapas are great, but the paella steals the show. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
Our waiter Juan was great at helping us pick a variety of dishes that complimented each other. We had the head on shrimp, broccolini, jambon plate, octopus, scallops and croquettes (can't remember the name. The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We topped it off with the dark and white chocolate dessert, which was amazing. Expensive- yes. Worth it? Heck yes!
The tapas were amazing and the paella spectacular. I was very impressed with the food. Place needs an AC. I was sweating 🥵
I was excited to go and really wanted to like the place. Our server was not very friendly. When my drink arrived, it was not what I expected. I was then told by the server who I just discussed the drink with that ingredients changed and the menu was not updated. It would have been great to know this when I was asking about it prior to ordering. Then came the food, which was the primary reason to go there. The paella rice was undercooked and oily, tasted predominantly like oily tomato and heavy on smoked paprika.
Excellent place! The staff was very attentive, the food delicious, we enjoyed different tapas, salads, the Seafood Paella (Paella Marinera) and the desserts were delicious! 100% recommendable! Volveré!
I went there on a date because on the reservation they said there would be live music, but there wasn't any. There was, however, plenty of older white folks. (Berkeley, right?) There was no second date.
We were a party of 8 and everyone order something different. All dishes were delicious. One person ordered the Paella and it took 45 minutes to cook, but it was worth the wait.

We truly enjoy returning to this Tapas restaurant, one of our favorites in the Bay Area. The food and service are top quality, as are the wines. The chef has mastered traditional dishes from Spain with a twist of creative sauces, or as we like to think of the food as coming from a "Creative Kitchen".
The food was below average. We saw our server once. I had to go to the bar to request my check. Just way below average and no interest in ever going back.
It is a delightful place. Everything on the menu is delicious, and their sangria is wonderful. Just go and order one of everything.
Overall it was ok. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed and not happy. Wish we got the paella because all the tapas were just okay. Way too much Goddess dressing on salad (wish I had more lettuce! It was about 5 bites total). Best thing was the patatas bravas and cafe de horchata !
My 4th visit in the last 3 months and every experience encompassed great ambiance, service, gastronomic paradise and value to boot. I am 77 years old and have eaten in restaurants all over the world like Canada, Mexico, France, England, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Morocco, Italy, Israel, Nepal and Thailand and La Marcha was equal to the task. If you don't believe me, go visit them yourselves. Reservations needed on weekends but weekdays are easy. Bon Appetit.
