El Pote Español is a classic Spanish restaurant that has been a staple since the 1970s or 1980s in NYC. They offer delicious dishes like pulpo, calamari, shrimps in verde, and classic tortilla, paired with a wide selection of wines and beers. The food is generally good, with some standout dishes such as lightly battered egg-dipped shrimp with black beans and rice, cod with spinach and Manchego, and garlic shrimp. The service is attentive and fast, making it a pleasant place to dine. The restaurant is cozy and sweet, and reservations are recommended. Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is authentic and friendly. It is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible, with parking right in front, making it convenient for families and those with mobility needs. Although some dishes like artichokes and pork chops may not meet all tastes, many customers find it a great spot for both casual meals and special celebrations that capture the authentic Spanish experience in New York City.
