We came here to eat before a concert. We have a tapas restaurant we love at home and thought this would be similar. The service was slow and our water glasses were never refilled. Instead of coming out one plate at a time, our food came all at once. It was average at best. The eggplant was unrecognizable, but the calamari was excellent. Overall ok but not fabulous.

We have had several meals at this location and have been pleased in the past with food quality. Tonight, however, our food did not meet the same standard. Several of our dishes came out charred. As seen in the picture, the empanada was inedible. We had an eggplant dish that was burned to the extent you could not put a fork in it. The waitress initially offered a refund for the uneaten dishes and a discount which we were happy to accept. When we questioned the lack of a discount on the receipt she rudely claimed she was trusting our food was burned yet she had no way to touch or test it. This was not true, as the picture again proved, the burning was apparent even from a distance. We have always enjoyed our meals here and were extremely disappointed by our experience tonight.

The composition of the dishes was more like sides than tapas. Proteins weren't paired well with veggies or sauces. But everything was cooked

I should have known it wasn’t going to be a good experience when after sitting 15-20 minutes no one greeted us. I went up to one of the servers and told her we had a show to get to and asked if our waitress could take our order. She said our waitress was downstairs doing something, and she offered to grab our order. Food and atmosphere was ok at best, nothing fancy at all. Cheap silverware and plates. The waitress said she put our food in right away and we thanked her. The table who ordered right before us got their food rather quickly, so I was excited it wouldn’t take forever for our food to come out. The tapas came out separately, which was not ideal, but not a big deal. Everything came out besides the croquettes and the paella, and after waiting about 30 mins she said that they should be out shortly and offered to pack it up to go if we needed it since we had a show to get to. (Why I would want to pay all this money to just take food to go beats me), but I said we still had 15 mins before we had to leave and expected it would be ready shortly. After 5 more minutes the manager apologized and said they “lost part of our ticket” and he would discount our check. I said ok and continued to wait. We got the croquettes a couple minutes later. 10 more minutes went by and I walked up asked for the check and asked them to just take the paella off and give us the discount so we could leave. They only took off $7 for the paella and $5 “discount” for the wait and horrible service. The Paella normal goes for $11 and for restaurant week they had 3 tapas for $26 which comes out to $8.66 per tapa, and we waited about an hour for two of the tapas (croquettes and paella) so really we should have gotten at least a $17 off for the food that took so long (or never came). They only gave us $12 which barely covers the paella they said they would take off. I talked to the one female manager and mentioned the “discount” the male manager offered and she said the discount was the $5 empanada they took off plus the $7 (which didn’t even cover the actual price) for the paella that I told them to take off cause we had to leave and couldn’t take food togo into the Theater. I will never ever go to or eat here again, food was sub par at best and the service and ambiance in general was horrible. Super disappointed.

Our first time here. Delicious food -- highly recommend the bacon-wrapped dates, meatballs, and mussels. But all 6 plates were 10/10.

Great deal on very authentic tapas. We went on a Wednesday and took advantage of their midweek 3 tapas for $18 deal. We especially liked the mussels, the Brussel sprouts, the albondigas (meatballs) and the paella. Great service and some good, reasonable wine choices as well. We’ll be back!
