Frank Kim: Pass on the stuffed olives, and the bacalao croquettes were meh, but the falafel dish was fantastic. The clams & chorizo sofrito was ok. Cocktails were great here.
elisa: Falafel without the chorizo is a good vegetarian option
Mandar M: You can customize the bomba. I love black rice but don't like squid so I asked them to make it with shrimp and chorizo. Don't forget the carrot habanero sauce !! Not hot more flavor !!

Shirley R: When on the menu, have the Sobrasado ... includes spreadable chorizo - yes, you read that correctly! Flavorful yum!
Tom A: Paella! But try as many tapas as u can. They are authentic and delicious. Raw scallops in a pepper sauce drizzled with fried ? Delicious.
Brian Strauss: You can walk in and sit at the bar almost anytime. The bartender will dispense food and sophisticated libations with equal dexterity.

Daniel Grayson: Polenta, eggs, and chorizo is always a win, and that's the case at this cute nook. The corned beef hash was worthy, too.
Ellen Fremaux: Poached egg with Gorgonzola is the best!!
Genevieve CW: Ignore the negative tip, new owners are the friendliest people you'll ever meet! New lunch specials everyday - soup is always amazing. And they make the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever!!!
