Cute place ! The staff was nice and all of the food was good. We only had tapas. Drinks could be a bit stronger though, and parking was tough. I’d def return though!!
Fun place, great food, the techno beat music gets annoying after a while. The paella is the only paella in town I can finish in one sitting, no left overs and it’s $35. The surrounding restaurants give you twice the portion. Large and small sangriaoptions also pricey. Friendly and attentive staff. A good vibe for drinks with friends and tapas. A romantic dinner not so much.
Tasty drinks, their bread and salsa (free) was delicious, and the flatbread was so flavorful. Coffee and desert (flan) was the perfect way to end our midday snack. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and helpful but have us privacybetween checking in on us. I would recommend if you are near Newark Penn Station!
Charming little spot! The staff was friendly, and all the food we tried was delicious—especially the tapas. However, the drinks could have been a bit stronger, and parking was a bit challenging. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Another wonderful experience, the Flamenco performers never disappoint. We go several times each year and are always amazed! The food is wonderful too- a great variety of tapas and paella.
One of the best restaurants I been lately. The food was amazing, the entertainment was on point. The flamenco show was one of the best I seeing in a local restaurant. It was my first time dinning here but I am sure it won’t be last. The services was great. My sister is a world traveler and I took her here to celebrate her birthday, she loved the all experience.
Food was good. Good selection of tapas and desserts. Nice atmosphere and good location.
The food and drinks were fantastic! I strongly recommend trying the infused spicy vodka cocktail—it was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive, and the service was outstanding! Since we arrived early, the restaurant was quite peaceful; we were hoping for a livelier atmosphere, but that was likely just due to the timing of our visit.

If you're in Newark and searching for an outstanding restaurant, this is the spot to visit! It's truly a fantastic choice! The Patatas Bravas were incredible, and the chorizo in red wine reduction was equally delightful. This place comes remarkably close to a genuine Spanish tapas bar, which is hard to find in the USA. If you're lucky, Fabio will be your bartender. He's a master at mixing drinks and also the most knowledgeable staff member when it comes to ordering tapas.
This is a fun place with fantastic food, though the techno music can get a bit tiresome after a while. The paella here is the only one in town I can actually finish in one sitting—no leftovers, and it costs $35. Other nearby restaurants serve you twice that portion. The sangria options, both large and small, are also on the pricey side. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a nice atmosphere for drinks with friends and enjoying tapas. However, it may not be the best choice for a romantic dinner.
This was my first visit to this restaurant in Ironbound. The theme is somewhat unusual but generally reflects Spanish culture. The ambiance is a dark, urban chic style, and the space isn't very large. They offer a tapas menu with some excellent choices. If you enjoy social drinking, this place has a friendly atmosphere that's perfect for that. The presentation of the desserts and tapas was impressive. I would definitely recommend it. However, be aware that finding parking can be a bit tricky.

This place has a fantastic vibe with a great atmosphere and a diverse menu featuring everything from tasty tapas to hearty meals. The restaurant also has a bar, but it...
The food was fantastic! I absolutely have to return. It was straightforward and delicious. I loved it so much—especially the Albondigas de Pollo!
We had an amazing time. The Gypsy Kings tribute show was awesome! We felt like we were back in Barcelona Spain Delicious tapas and paella with incredible an Churros donut desert.
Excellent atmosphere! Whether it's date night or just for drinks, this place is a winner. I can't get enough of the bread and olive oil combo!
We loved the place and eat it. we wanted to take our time to eat, but all the items were on the table within 20 minutes order. service was very nice and friendly, but we didn't want to hurry. our reservation was early and not too much time. very recommended! and a jewel in newark.
