Spanish Restaurant Tapas - Alcala

This place stands far above average. The place is small but well-designed for comfort, with nice enough workers. Everything was cooked just right. Worker attention was particularly superior. This restaurant exceeded expectations. I plan to try everything they offer.

Our waitress was incredibly sweet and accommodating especially in making our two kids feel welcome and comfortable. We ordered tapas, as I expected it would be the forte of a Spanish restaurant offering such large variety of small dishes. We were truly disappointed: every dish was mediocre at best, no flavor. I’ll try somewhere else next time.

Service was nice. Food did not taste fresh. Decor needs refreshing in restaurant. Would not recommend visiting again.

A wonderful spot in Manhattan for authentic Spanish cuisine. Owner Jesús Martínez brings the true spirit of Spain to the city, with delicious traditional dishes and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The wine list is exceptional, featuring selections from Bodega Pradorey, one of Ribera del Duero’s finest estates. A must-visit for anyone who loves genuine Spanish food and great wine.

Great food, wine and priced

Alcala is a go to when my friends visit NYC. The food is always on point. The service is amazing. The Albariño and paella are a must try in NYC.

A bit awkward when you arrive to order a drink or wine. After a while things got better. Food was good and we had a good time

The food was nice and the atmosphere was wonderful. Will recommend to everyone.

The service, which felt like family, was superb. The food was lovely. We were there at a late lunch and it was quiet and serene. We felt like it was our private dining room. 

The service was 0 They assumed I spoke Spanish not to offend them I made an effort to answer in Spanish my Spanish is meh decent I ordered paella he informed me it will take 25m to prepare since i told him I was starving I asked him to bring me a salad by the time the paella's ready but I wasn't told the salad will also take 25min The margarita was basically lemon syrup The food was really Horrible waited 32min only to get a tasteless salad with a bitter taste I asked him to wrap it to go but I shouldn't have cuz It went straight to garbage The paella came with a heavy spice taste, chickpeas were hard, Rice was extremely overcooked & mushy because they kept it in oven waiting for me to be served the 32 min salad since I complained that I wanted to start with salad and not eat it at the same time as the paella After all this I took two bites and was disappointed I asked him to wrap it to go and gave it to the birds The worst paella in Spanish history I was turned off and I will not be returning

The meal tasted even better in such a welcoming setting. Spanish Restaurant Tapas - Alcala maintains reliability with every visit. You'll discover flavor combinations you haven't experienced. Their customer service shows no errors. This restaurant won't let you down - I'm pleased I found it.

Old school Spanish cuisine. Best house red wine I have ever had. Very traditional, served by a kind staff.

Very good paella, but no frills. It's a basic hole in the wall with decent Spanish food. I've had better though.
