Spanish Restaurants near East Rutherford, NJ

“Fast, efficient bc you order on a kiosk, fresh, not salty, tasty, and close to the train station across the street in fact. It’s about $3 per taco for vegetarian tacos without tax so it’s reasonable. I paid about $15.50 total with tax for 4 tacos so it was enough food for a hungry dinner. No place to sit so take out only. And they double up the tortilla so you can have some extra and put in your own stuff.“

“What a fantastic find in Chelsea! We stopped in on a whim and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we've had in Manhattan. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was exceptional, and every dish that came to the table was packed with flavor.

We ordered several plates to share so we could try as much as possible, and honestly, every single item impressed us. The cocktails were just as memorable as the food and complemented everything perfectly.

The only downside? There were still dishes on the menu we wanted to try, but we simply ran out of room. This is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing Spanish cuisine in NYC!“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

The ambiance absolute perfection!! I highly recommend!!“

“Having a hands on sommolier is a lost art and a rare find in the upscale casual scene, which Bartolo excels at. What an incredible wine list paired with unique and flavorful dishes. Their filet was outstanding and their tripe and blood sausage dish really stood out for their attention to detail. Rounding out the night with exceptional desserts and surprising dessert wines really make this spot a neighborhood gem.“

“My husband took me here for my birthday and he got ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because My Moon was 12/10.

I said I wanted to be outside, have great food, and be in a place where we could have a conversation without having to shout across the table - and My Moon hit the ball out of the park.

I almost don't want to write this review because it is one of the few hidden gems left in Williamsburg, but I had such a wonderful experience I want to pay it forward. You step off of 10th into the most beautiful oasis garden patio (I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures of it!), we sat in the partially covered patio, which was great as the wind picked up. It literally felt like an oasis.

We opted for tapas (patatas bravas, octopus, croquettes de jamón, and a salad) and a bottle of wine to share. The food came out quickly, was delicious, and the service was great. The staff surprised us with the chocolate lava cake when we finished - I think a little bird told them it was my birthday 😂😂

Overall 12/10 will absolutely go again, it's already my list to take family when they come visit.“

“This is a hidden jewel. We were spending the night at a nearby airport hotel looking for dinner. We found this and took a chance. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, but don't be fooled this a a Tapas Bar treat. Food, Service, and Drinks were fantastic!“

“Best plate of the night. Ambience was perfect and service excelled.“

We went before the Carlos Vives concert, and it really set the perfect tone for an unforgettable night with all my friends. We all love it and enjoy it so much! If I could, I would give it a million stars!“

“Fine dining with a flair was on offer and thoroughly enjoyed by all. There isn't much more to say. Experience it for yourself!“

“Antojao never misses 🔥 The food was fresh, packed with flavor, and the portions were great. The Tres Golpe Pernil Sandwich was incredible — the perfect mix of savory and sweet. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Jersey City!“

“Excellent food and presented well…, a value here!“

“Food was so good, and plated beautifully. The appetizer sampler is top tier, but be careful because it's really filling. I didn't finish my entree because I got so full on the apps, lol. Great service. It's BYOB and they have a lot of nice mocktails to mix with or just to drink by themselves.“

“Beautiful ambience. Wonderful service from waiters and bartenders. Delightful to enjoy. Tio Pepe is a charming hidden gem in Greenwich Village, offering a delightful mix of Spanish and Mexican flavors. Their peaceful Skylight garden room is perfect for a romantic dinner, and their classic paella and house sangria are absolutely must-tries and let's not forget their delicious guacamole. Loved every moment.“

“We had a really good time. Very cozy, awesome service and the live Flamenco really made it a special night.“

“We have been going to El Cid for over 30 years and went back for the first time since they reopened. I’m happy to say that it was as great as it was in the past. The Prime Rib, sirloin and sangria were delicious and we can’t wait to go back!“

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“This restaurant has a very welcoming and comfortable environment. I felt relaxed as soon as I sat down, and the service stayed consistent throughout. The food was served properly and tasted fresh, which added to the overall enjoyment. It’s not just about eating here—it’s about feeling at ease while you do. I would definitely come back again.“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“I was happy with the service and the food. However , we were 5 adults and 3 children and the bill was $8oo. We did not consume a lot of liquor. The appetizers and entrees were delicious but the prices were way too high;. For the family to go out to enjoy a good meal is becomes impossible to do with those prices.“

“Muy rica la comida! Cómo en nuestro país Ecuador 🇪🇨“

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!! Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“

“The attention was wonderful. The white sangria was very good. The food was absolutely delicious. Paella marinara, Chilean sea bass and the mariscada were all yummy. Best part. … the flamenco show.“

“Love this spot! Almost always able to get a seat at the bar or a table later on in the evening. The team members are always super accommodating, helpful, and friendly! And I've never had a bad glass or bottle of wine here - and they don't have my normal Italian staples, so that says a lot! Vibes are immaculate 🤘“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“Went here on a whim to celebrate our friends special ocassion. The interior is nicely decorated and quiet. We ordered some patatas bravas, cheese and ham platter, white sangria and the chicken! Our food was brought our promptly and we enjoyed our food and drinks. The plates were easily shareable among 4 people and the food was good. The star was definitely the chicken. I'm not sure what they put in that chicken or how they cooked it but it was delicious. One of our friends declared ir the best chicken he's had in his life.
Huge shout out to our server who was funny, attentive and brought us some champagne to celebrate our special ocassion!“

“Food is always good! Going there for years“
