“Food was delicious. Serve was wonderful even live music/guitarist .I you love Spanish food go and enjoy.”
“A new family favorite. Not exactly sure what has taken us so long to visit. The food was great and served quickly. It was a lot of fun and we will be back. Our only issue was the noise level, it was difficult to hear our waiter over all the background noise. Recommended for a family night out or date night.”
“At first we weren't sure, but after they figured out we weren't being waited on things went very good. Food is excellent!”
“My partner Joe took me to Tapas Valencia for dinner tonight and wow was it incredible. We walked in to a warm welcome, our table was ready and waiting for us and a very talented guitar player was gracing us with some great hits. Our server Alex was outstanding, very attentive to anything we needed , didn't rush us and he happily gave us all his food and drink recommendations. I am sooooooo glad we went with his recommendations because each dish that came out was better than the last!!! Every dish and every bite had so much flavor and uniqueness. We are home in bed now and still cannot stop talking about how delicious everything was! We cannot wait to go back. To name a few things we ordered - baked goat cheese with red sauce and crunchy bread, papas bravas, black bean soup , steak cooked so perfectly it melted in our mouths, the seafood paella was insanely good, mocktail was crazy good, we couldn't have asked for any better food and it came out quick but was spaced out perfectly. Throughout our meal multiple employees kindly came up and asked how everything was, Leah was especially sweet and personable. We cannot wait to go back again, we will for sure be requesting Alex for our server again to! I would highly recommend!!!! It seems kid friendly as well ❤️”
“Top quality Tapas! Dátiles con tocino, queso de cabra, atún a la parrilla!! 👌🏻”
“Came with a group and enjoyed the restaurant greatly. My favorite tapas was the Queso de cabra, the goat cheese with tomato sauce and garlic bread.”
“This is a Spanish food restaurant and it’s amazing. We ordered several tapas in addition to the meatballs, beef empanada, and spicy potatoes. We also tried the Campesina paella that has chicken (we would have loved more chicken in the dish). It was interesting that the menu has a wide variety of dishes, including vegetarian options and others with different sources of protein (seafood, chicken, beef). Their wine selection is very rich too, and sangria is available for both red and white wine. I loved the Miro and Picasso decoration! I was very surprised by it! They also had a guitar player walking and playing music all the time, which adds up to the atmosphere. I would just say the volume could be lower for a more pleasurable conversation with friends. It was nice that staff spoke in Spanish, too!! This place is a bit pricey, but fair because of quality. Portions are not very big.”
“I think I would have given this 5 stars if I came for dinner but the brunch was still pretty good! I got the chicken sliders and we also tried the tarta de pera which was delicious.”
“Incredible smoked old fashion. Quality ingredients and a fun delivery. Absolutely worth the cost. All the food was tasty and the service is great. it’s not cheap but seems like a great choice for date night or client dinners.”
“Nice place for tapas. Their daily happy hour special at 5:00 is good, though with inflation I would prefer they raise the price for the tapas from $3 to $4 or $5, but then add a couple more substantive hot tapas, like a pincho du pollo or similar. I took 1 ⭐ off as the incorrectly spelled mouthwash label in the bathroom drives me up a wall everytime I go in there.... 🙂”
