it was so good. i highly recommend. everyone is so friendly. it a great place to eat and enjoy the ambiance
If you're looking for very good Spanish food, this is the place to go. The best paella in OC. We finally found a place with paella, tapas, and drinks that take you to Spain. We really love this restaurant- the ambience, the service; everything was outstanding. Amazing.
Overall great experience but for the price points you'd expect service to be a little more on top of it. When drinks look low, when plates need to be cleared. Even the check at the end took very long. Steak price points are great, and I think some of the best steak you'll find in OC. The value of the tapas is a little over the top like the leeks which came with 4 small pieces or the shrimp which come with about 4-5 per order.
