What Julio Rodriguez doesn't like about Alcala:
Average price, average to good taste, portion size varied. Dined in, think we tried the charcuterie, sardines, squid ink pasta, steak. Liked the squid ink pasta; the steak was a large size. Liked the sardines as well, though the taste was strong butsimple. View all feedback. What paul nix likes about Alcala:

read moreAlcalá restaurant offers a taste of authentic Spanish cuisine in the heart of New York City. While some customers have reported a negative experience related to being charged for bottled water they did not drink, most reviews praise the welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and high-quality food.

From flavorful tapas to juicy pork tenderloin, Alcalá's menu is deemed one of the best Spanish restaurants in the US. Customers also appreciate the cozy ambiance, clean environment, and special features like igloos for winter dining. Overall, Alcalá is recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Spanish dining experience in NYC.
One of the most consistently satisfying restaurants in the city.
Great Tapas. Great Service. Fun place. A little bit of Spain very close to Grand Central.
Very nice. Lovely Spanish wine. Great service. One order was perfect. My chicken dish was very salty. Overall was a good experience.
Consistently excellent, welcoming, and a longtime favorite because of those qualities.
