A friend recommended I check this spot out and I will definitely be back. The tapas were very flavorful, the sangria was great, the had fresh bread that was very nice and on top of it all every single staff member was an absolute sweetheart!

So many amazing dishes! Everything we received was absolutely delicious, but my most favorite was the jamon, with the shrimp being a close second (its garlic oil was incredible when used to dip the house bread). The desserts were amazing. Service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and vibrant, and we look forward to coming back!

welcoming, but not overbearing service. the food really shines. price and quantity give a great value for money, but the taste puts it a very high category. you can tell the amount of time and effort that goes into developing rich and complex flavors.

很不错的西班牙餐厅,在埃文斯顿,离西北大学挺进的,晚上人气很足。海鲜饭,海鲜酥皮,章鱼腿和羊排都很好吃,它家菜量都不大,适合2-3人,海鲜饭量挺大的。

It is quiet, not too too crazy busy. The bread is good. Food is more sweet taste. The sauce covered the sea food flavor. The entree does not have lot of food but the presentation is nice.

Every thing was delicious! Best sangria I’ve ever had. The stuffed pear dessert was fabulous.
