This place, to me, is such an under-rated, undiscovered gem. Every time we are theremcrowded, we keep expecting it to be way more crowded as it's not a huge place, but the food and service are on par with some of the best tapas places around. And the prices are also Very reasonable too. They are unique, in that they are more Argentinian tapas then Spanish or Basque. So, in addition to favorites like paella, grilled octopus, and patatas bravas, there's also a decent selection of pastas and Italian fair via Argentina. And in warmer weather, the back garden can't be beat. Always fun music playing (often 80s dance or rock hits), homemade sangrias and a finished meal with free shots of Limoncello round out the meal. Friendly, top-notch service too. Let's keep this place going! They'd be worth the wait.

Came here on a Friday night with a group of four and had a wonderful experience. The place was packed but the service was still incredible. Not only was the food wonderful, but this is one of the few places in NYC where you aren’t rushed out. We ordered the paella, ravioli, multiple apps, and sangria. Major shout out to Jose for the wonderful service and night!

Great ambience and excellent food! The place was packed when we came in but the service was still incredibly attentive. The owner made a table for us in the middle of the restaurant and made us feel like family. Such a unique experience for New York let alone east village. We ordered the mixta paella which was perfect and the eggplant parm appetizer was a standout. 10/10 recommend!

This place is great. The happy hour drinks and tapas are delicious. We ordered a carafe of sangria and a paella as well and both were delicious. Dylan was our server and he was very attentive. Highly recommended!

10/10 service! The rice and cheese balls were the best, a must get even if you're lactose intolerant! I've never tasted an espresso martini like theirs. The owner loves his customers and really takes care of his customers! Happy hour is also great!
