    We ordered the lobster paella--meant for two, but honestly enough for four to share. We were expecting a whole lobster, but it came with just half, which was a bit disappointing. The octopus was my favorite--hard to go wrong and definitely a must-order. Parking is a bit tricky, but they offer $5 valet which helps. Overall, not a bad experience--a cozy spot with a nice vibe

    Pisco sour -- so damn good
    German C.

    OK, the first tip is that you have to use the valet. Don't bother looking for parking or anything. It's very affordable and they'll protect your car. Now, for the important part, which is the food. It was freaking Amazing Perry. I am a breathtaking by how delicious the food was. We started with the patatas bravas, the jamón Serrano, Crockett's. Yo, but the show stealer before the show steer. Where the drinks. They have awarded winning drinks in this place! I can't remember the name, but I had a passionfruit drink, and then a pisco sour. Both are elegance wrapped around in the passion of Latin America. Of course, we came for the paella and I had to make an adjustment because I do not like shrimp. I cannot eat shrimp, and they made it so we had the muscles, the clams, the chorizo, and the lobster and squid, and oh my God. It was so delicious, so scrumptious . Dios mío, bendito que ricura. Really loved this place and it's really romantic inside too, so bring a date. Bring a coworker. Whatever it is that you have bring it because this place is gonna be delicious. You bring your come for the drinks. You come for the food. You come for the ambience. You come to relax.

    Totally awesome dining spot in the middle of a super busy street. No parking anywhere but fortunately. They offer valet for $5 at the door which is VERY convenient! We ordered a few empanadas, tapas and paella. We also had the pitcher of their passion fruit sangria. Everything was amazing!! The sangria left a lot to be desired unfortunately. Totally watered down, tastes similar to a watery juice with no alcohol! Would def return for their paella!! Great service also! They don't rush you, allow reservations and offer indoor and outdoor seating! Hidden gem!

    Red sangria

    We showed up during happy hour they had really good deals my favorite thing was the stuffed avocado followed behind the empanadas as well as a friendly bar like atmosphere

    My boyfriend and I were in town and decided to celebrate our anniversary here. This was such a cute spot, I wish we could visit again! We had the kindest server!! I can't remember his name from the card he gave us but I think it started with a G! He truly made our experience there the best it could be. I loved that the staff here all works well together and helped out with our table. We ordered a few different things but they started us off with complementary bread. The butter for the bread was amazing and slightly sweet but the bread itself was a bit hard. Our food started coming out pretty quickly after that. The scallops were cooked well but I wasn't in love with the sauce and the potatoes with it. Both the calamares and croquettes were great! I loved how they presented everything so nicely. The star of the show was definitely the lobster. It was cooked so perfectly and full of flavor. I've never ordered a whole lobster before and loved it! We also ordered a bottle of their house wine and I wish I would've asked for one to bring home! It was so easy to drink. They even brought us out a sample of their house made white wine to try too which was also great. We ended the night with flan that our server recommended. It was the perfect texture and not too sweet! I wish I could come back again to this place sometime soon!

    Hitting all the marks! Clouds of potato croquetas, delicate paprika'd morsels of pulpo, sweet skilled bartenders and what, Maria cookies dessert! Unpretentious fun spot with authentic Spanish food in Newark!

    LANGOSTINOS, Mozambique Tiger Shrimp.  Delicious and surprisingly filling.
    Dave H.

    The staff was really friendly and the food was as good as they said. We were there on our way to Upstate NY coming from Newark Airport. All three of us had seafood and all three of us were very happy with the food and service.

    White sangria
    Bob G.

    Went to Casa d'Paco in Newark for lunch with a group of 8, and we had a really enjoyable experience overall. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with a fun, lively atmosphere that's perfect for groups. The food is served tapa-style -- reminiscent of the classic "topper topps" approach -- and it worked really well for sharing. Most of the dishes were excellent, but the standout was definitely the crab cakes -- perfectly crisp on the outside and full of flavor inside. The white sangria was also a big hit -- refreshing and not too sweet, just right for a mid-day meal. Service could use a little tightening -- while staff were friendly, things moved a bit slowly and there were a couple of missed cues. That said, the quality of the food and the overall experience more than made up for it. Definitely worth a visit, especially with a group!

    Langosto
    Kaitlin R.

    The tapas here are tasty and the standouts for me were the patatas bravas and zamburinas. Several people at our table also got a meat dish on the specials menu which was so tender. If I came back that would probably be my order if it was available. The langosto from the specials menu was good but it wasn't quite what I expected based on the menu description. Overall everyone in our party of 7 enjoyed their food. Allergen advice: be very specific if anyone in your party has allergies as the kitchen was not as knowledgeable about nut/legume allergies as we would have hoped. We were told they were serving dishes that he could not eat because they have nutmeg (which isn't a nut or legume product). And then his dinner came out with peas on top (a legume). This was fixed promptly and he did not end up having a reaction to anything he ate.

    We really enjoyed eating here, the tapas were all good, the croquetas were absolutely fabulous and highly recommended. The red sangria was delicious and we would have had more but had to leave. When we get back to Newark definitely will be stopping back again.

    We had a large group with so much food. Service was good and attentive. Sangria was tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good seafood. Also lots of seating but not good parking.

    a cute place and loved the variety but for some reason nothing really stood out to me :( clams - fav dish, quite flavorful, the only thing I liked a lot papatas bravas - a classic but not special, a bit dry but the sauce helped pulpo - bland and mostly tasted like olive oil...? pork combo - some were dry and meat just tasted a little stale croquettes - pretty yummy camarones - decent and liked the tomato sauce but not mind blowing chorizo - kind of just tasted like a store bought sausage :/ pretty filling and liked the vibe/decent prices for all the seafood but sadly nothing really stood out to me

The drinks were okay but overpriced. I ordered the I'm Coming Out, and the mango purée paired well with the tequila, so I'll give credit where it's due. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown. The chicken empanadas were not good at all. The chicken skewers tasted like they were seasoned the same way as a steak, which just didn't work flavor-wise. The steak skewers were good, but the churrasco was way too salty, and the black rice had no flavor whatsoever. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the food. I considered coming back just for drinks and the vibe, but even that feels questionable since there are plenty of other places that are cheaper and offer a better overall experience. I went with the brunch menu, and with just one drink, my total came out to $85, which felt excessive for the quality. To make matters worse, the server lost one of the credit cards we used to pay the tab. We were told only two cards were given when there were actually three, and we had to search for it ourselves. That was extremely annoying and unacceptable. I've been here a few years ago, pre-COVID, and the service was much better back then. Unfortunately, it feels like both the service and the food have declined, especially for the price point. Because of that, I would not return and would rather spend my money at places where I know I'll have a great time overall
