España Restaurant & Tapas is a popular spot, especially when it opens at 5:00pm, as it quickly fills up with diners both inside and outside. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. The paella marinera is a highlight, with its authentic flavors, although some guests may notice a slight sand texture and burnt bottom. The cazuela Mozambique is also a hit, despite its spicy kick. Tapas options, such as the picadnho, are tasty and unique. The patio is a lovely spot to dine, with plenty of shade and fans. Visitors often praise the flavorful tapas and the excellent paella rustica, which is described as fantastic. The desserts, especially tres leches, are highly recommended, described as out of this world yummy. Many guests also enjoy the sangria and empanadas, finding them excellent. The outside patio is favored for its lovely atmosphere, perfect for a special date or casual night. However, parking can be challenging in downtown, so patience is advised. The ambiance offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with a pleasant environment. Service is attentive, with drinks always full and plates cleared promptly. The menu includes wine, beer, soft drinks, teas, and house-made sangria. Notable dishes include scallops Ole, which are panko-covered with a phenomenal sauce, and a flavorful ceviche. Some dishes, like the stew with clams, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and veggies, can be quite salty. Overall, España Restaurant & Tapas provides a wonderful dining experience, with great service, delicious food, and a cozy patio, making it a favorite for many.
