Great sandwich. Reminds me of shops in Spain and the prices aren’t insane which is sometimes the case for these import specialty shops.

Good for small bites and tapas. Plus, you can pick up a lot of Spanish delicacies like Iberico cured meats and pork too.

The overall flavor is clean and free from any artificial taste. It reminds me of the tapas I had in Spain. When paired with sangria, it nicely balances out any slight fishiness or saltiness from the cured meats.

really good for quick-service style tapas. i’ve gotten crackers and canned food here before but never tried the tapas so it was a new experience. all of the croquettes were great with the ham being my favorite (not sure if they gave us iberico or serrano). tortilla was ok but a little bland. octopus was great!

I tell everyone about this amazing spot. The dishes are excellent and the setting is appealing. Capable staff who recommended ideal food and entertained my family throughout dinner. The setting feels carefully chosen. Too good!

Amazing through and through. The food was absolutely delicious. The paella is a must try!

Authentic specialty food shop with a small cafe in the back. It’s fair to say that there are items here that are on the expensive side, and unfortunately, with the current high inflationary climate, those prices are further exaggerated. Having said that, people seeking out a shop like this are usually after something specific. The chances that they will find it are very high with a good selection of harder to find high quality items.

The cafe is nice with some really lovely sandwich options.

All in all, it's a very pleasant experience, and truthfully, I love coming here.

The service is great too. HIGHLY recommended!

Picked up a few containers of spices on my recent visit to NYC. Great selection of everything Spain. Got to use my rudimentary Spanish and the woman behind the counter seem pleased and surprised and it was very kind of her. TBH, I surprised myself.

Great, tasty, small plate options. I recommend getting there by noon if you want seats because it gets pretty crowded after that.

$4.25 for one croqueta is all you need to know. Good stuff but wildly overpriced. Insulting, tbh.

I was ready to give 4 stars – I really enjoyed the food, and the service was excellent. However, I was surprised and disappointed to be charged an extra $10 for each bottle we brought over from their own shop next door.

Even if this fee is mentioned on the menu, it should have been clearly communicated before allowing us to make the purchase. It felt misleading and left a bad impression. A pity, as everything else was great.
