Today was my first time there and i am so happy i decided to stop! This is the best Spanish food I've been able to find so far in New haven. The women were friendly, and i was even given a tres leche cake that was amazing. Okkkk! Finally! Thank you 🥰
Oh and that honey chicken is definitely on point!

I’m from NYC, Washington heights to be precise and the food here reminds me of home. It’s probably one of the best Spanish food spots in the area. The food is always well seasoned and good.
