Sangria

"My family and I visited for the first time earlier this week and we visited again yesterday around 5pm . The service was exception specially by the young Puerto Rican waitress we had about three days ago. The gentleman who helps out with bringing the food was cordial as well. And our very tall and a bit more mature waitress from yesterday at first was a bit distracted and talking to the bartender. However, when I went to get her right after she was prompt and provided excellent service . We were famished and the food was amazing. I think this is the best restaurant in the area. I tried a few different ones and this one both on price and quality is thus far the best one. We had the Tablón, Hot dog Paella , Chicken and Shrimp paella (vegetarian option plus add ons) , mariscada paella , tostones and chorizo tapas , the churros with hot chocolate , ice cream , and red sangria ."

"Really enjoyed this place. It's located in a "strip mall" but much nicer than what you're probably thinking. For food I gave it 4 stars. My wife and I ordered 3 appetizers. I only gave the food 4 stars because the skirt steak was a little bit more cooked than what we like. The scallop/avocado/cucumber appetizer was absolutely delicious (my favorite). The shrimp appetizer was also delicious. They use plenty of garlic in their food. Lots of delicious seasoning. We did have the tres leches cake for dessert which was delicious. All of their desserts are made in house with the exception of the molten lava cake. For atmosphere I gave it 4 stars. It is nicely decorated and very clean. The acoustics are very loud, but to be fair, that does play into the joyful surroundings they clearly look to create. When they do a birthday celebration they play a fun tune over the high quality sound system while walking to the table with all the patrons in the restaurant clapping along. When we were there it was pretty chilly with the air vents blowing toward our table. So much so that we asked to move a few tables over which they did with no problem at all. Finally, I gave the service 5 stars. Our waitress was attentive, very friendly, interactive, professional and visited the table frequently. Not only was our waitress great, each and every person on the wait staff from servers to food runners would remove any finished dishes on our table and ask if we needed anything. And when we arrived this place was packed, which makes sense since it was Cinco de Mayo. Great place. Will definitely be back to try more items on their menu."

"I love the way the place is decorated and the atmosphere. The service was great and the food came out really fast. The blood orange sangria was delicious. The beef empanadas were flavorful and came with a nice sweet chili sauce. We got the salomillo con queso which is not actually a queso but was delicious. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly. The lamb meatballs were delicious but a bit too bready. Similarly, the cod croquetas were so good and crispy but too doughy. The bacon wrapped scallops were a tad overcooked. We got the gambas a ajillo but because we added chorizo it didn't come with broth, which was disappointing. Overall a nice tapas place and I would come back to try some of the other dishes."

"5 star service, 3.5 star food. Cute place, nice atmosphere. Okay food. Some dishes outshone others. My friends and i came here after a long hike at Ramapo VC Reservation so we were famished. We were seated as a party of 5 with myself included immediately when they opened. Wonderful staff and hospitality. I found it a bit strange that they poured out our carafe of sangria for us but quickly understood why when they brought out a second bottle for us to share. It was teeny! Delicious nonetheless. As for the food, we thoroughly enjoyed the cod fritters and the boys said the Gorditos and empanadas were great. We ordered seconds. I ordered the scallop and avocado and was less than impressed when they came out. It was just a strange presentation and i wasn’t wowed by the taste either. The octopus and lamb meatballs were pretty good and garlic shrimp too. I got a cappuccino at the end and it was perfect. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but it wasn’t the best Spanish food I’ve ever eaten."

"We visited on a week day for dinner around 5:30 pm. We made a reservation, but it wasn’t that busy when we arrived. It got busy later after 6pm. We shared the Tablón, one paella vegetariana & one caldo gallego. Food was very good and plenty for a party of four. If you like Spanish food, I recommend it to you! Great place in Northern NJ."
