Nice space. Good hum, but not too loud. Very good service. The short rib empanadas special and the boquerones were both stand outs. The ham croquettes were good, but needed way more ham in them (but the mustard 'sauce' underpinning it all (along with the grated cheese) help make up for that short fall.

The brussel sprouts dish was a disappointment.

I would stil go back to explore more of the menu.
There was a wide variety of tapas. I especially enjoyed the Brussels, sweet potatoes, and dates. It took a lot of plates to begin to get full. The environment was quite loud. I wanted to be asked if it was a social occasion.
one of my favourite restaurants in durham
the paella, bone marrow, pate, and queso frito are excellent.
on weekdays, walk ins would usually work if you go early, though it’s best to make a reservation on weekends/ fridays
service is fine
also they usually don’t accept apple pay
