Contribute Feedback What Patrick P likes about El Pote:
This is a fantastic Spanish restaurant! I truly enjoy both the food and the atmosphere here. It’s cozy and relaxing, and the food is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend trying the garlic shrimp—it’s a must! Everything on the menu is delicious, and the service is excellent as well. View all feedback.
What JENITZA CENTENO doesn't like about El Pote:
The service was excellent, but the food did not meet my expectations. The portions were small, and the chicken cutlet had a peculiar taste with very little seasoning. The rice reminded me of something straight out of a Goya Spanish yellow rice box. The atmosphere was decent, but some of the customers at the bar made me feel unwelcome. Overall, I would rate the food a 2 out of 5. View all feedback.
The food is excellent and the seafood paella is mine and my husband's favorite. We also love to get a pitcher of the white sangria, so refreshing. The service is always excellent as well, and somehow it is never too crowded to seat us. This is our favorite paella place in NYC. Highly recommend. I also just tried their Tartufo the other night and it was made extra special.
I’ve eaten at many places across the country. I have to say, this place was perfect. The food is a definite must. And hands down, the BEST service I’ve experienced. The attention to detail, promptness, and care is absolutely unmatched! Thank you for a wonderful experience El Pote Español!Food: 5/5
Nice spot for some paella. Great spot . I enjoyed the service. They were very attentive. Also described the difference between 2 types of paella for me. Loved the atmosphere will be going there soon.Food: 5/5
Last time I ate here must have been almost 30 years ago. This mainstay is just as good as I remember albeit pricier and with smaller portions.We had the catch of the day which happened to be cod, paella Negra, Arroz con Pollo, and pork cheek!Appetizers were pulpo estilo feria mussels!The dishes were full of flavor, fresh and distinctly El pote!Do try out this spot that's a bit out of the way but worth the trek!
Oh my god the sangria gods left their recipe in the hands of these people. I don't care if your a big drinker or not the white wine sangria is the BEST. Everything that followed had tough competition with the carafe of goodness. We had squid in squid ink. How many times can you murmur under your breath yes please. The octopus was tender and garlic shrimp delicious. Our mains were the scallops in a sherry sauce. It was really good but I preferred shrimp in green sauce. We also got a mixed paella. This may be my only complaint. It was served in a non stick skillet. It was crispy as asked but where is the paella pan. The deserts rocked and free desert drink came next. If I was ever too have a food induced coma. One that brings me back to Madrid, Pamplona Toledo this was it. I will definitely come back if for nothing more then the sangria carafe. Thanks for amazing meal.
