Filipe Fortes: Order the excellent seafood stew (Cazuela de Mariscos?) and have a spicy margarita
Jessica L: The cazuela de mariscos is hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten. Pair that with a jalapeño margarita and you'll not only go home happy but you'll be craving more.

Jose Zarza: Paella de mariscos is the absolute best in the city!!!!
@JaumePrimero: definitely worth the wait, I had the paella de mariscos and it was delicious. Don't forget to scarf crispy bits at the bottom of the pan.
Gansevoort Hotel Group: An extremely alluring and intimate atmosphere coupled with fantastic spanish wine and, our favorite, NYC paella (particularly the arroz negro) is, just, the perfect way to get your night started!

Denmark Francisco: My wife and I come here on weekly basis and order the same things--Lomo Saltado and Arroz con Mariscos.
Lina Trifon: Good: you should definitely try the mero norteno, lomo saltado, arroz con mariscos & lucuma ice cream! Not so good: the sangria was way too sweet.
D Sic: The traditional Peruvian dishes are all very well done. Try the ceviche, anticuchos, Peruvian chicken, and/or the arroz con mariscos

Marivic G: Their ceviches are pretty small if you have more than 4 people. I would recommend getting the fluke and the mixto. The arroz mariscos is a great dish! Perfect amount if your hunger level is about an 8
Oscar Trelles: Start with a Causa de Camarones, continue with the Jalea Mixta, and try a tall glass of refreshing Chilcano
Lauren Johnson: Quinoa mushroom risotto is amazing!

Peťa: A MUST for all tapas lovers. Paella with mariscos was out of this world. Reminded me of the time in BCN and well no wonder since the cook comes from BCN . Go for patatas bravas & pan con tomate, 5* :)
Leigh Ann: Oh my goodness- this is my favorite tapas restaurant in NYC. I always make it a point to come on my birthday and anniversaries. Their red sangria is DELICIOUS and sneaky!! ALL of the food is amazing.
Tasting Table: Looking to throw a party? The chef's menu ($40 per person) is for parties of 6 or more. It covers all the greatest Spanish tapas, while mixing in seasonal specialties to keep things interesting. Read more.

Josue Soto: I was expecting a lot more try los mariscos they are a lot better
ZenFoodster: Prefer 3 (medium salsa verde, pico de gallo & hot) on bottom from Los Tacos over 2 (like Chinese chili sauces) on top from Los Mariscos.
Julian Modesto: The line’s long, but the tacos are delicious. Try Los Mariscos around the corner of the line is too daunting

Jennifer Louie: The paella mariscos is quite good. The rice is perfectly seasoned and super crispy. The hamachi crudo with grapes and almonds was well seasoned. If the lamb ribs are available, its a must order.
Jenn Bailey: Gets busy but worth every penny. Must try coca de setas!!
Bravo: We had the best time there…all high tops, there with my girlfriend’s Mom, who is 85, and we all loved it! -Susan Feniger, Top Chef

Paella Restaurant · NoLita · 73 tips and reviews
Megan Johnson: Everything was amazing: fried artichokes, tortilla, dates, carne paella and pescados & mariscos paella. Rose sangria much better than the cava sangria.
Kat: Get paella, obviously, but don't miss the bocata de calamares. And wash it all down with a clara, half-beer, half-Fanta limon
Serious Eats: The Nolita location of Lolo Manso's paella bar has more space and higher energy than the original in Chelsea, but the paella, each made to order, is just as good.
