An absolutely perfect dining experience at Jose Luis Restaurant! The food was incredible—definitely don’t miss the grilled octopus. Every tapa we tried was delicious, especially the pan-fried potatoes, fried calamari, and garlic shrimp. The portions are generous too—we planned to order more, but the four tapas we shared between the two of us were more than enough to leave us completely full.

Superb under the radar restaurant in the ABC. Paella and tapas is their main game, with two non-seafood paellas on the menu as a bonus for the shellfish worried.

Bottle of Montepulciano $48.

Good food and drinks, they had one guy bartending and serving for the entire restaurant, the tapas also took ~40 mins to come out from when we orderes. Honestly if there was even one more person waiting tables it would have been excellent. The guy apologized and was great given all he had to handle, he was constantly running around and the place wasnt that busy but it was clearly a lot to bartend and wait an entire restaurant on his own.
