Close to Sagreda Familia. They have a small outdoor eating area on the street as well as a really…read morebig indoor dining area. I love the design inside. Feels homey. I love the pig legs hung up on the walls. No smoking inside so thats a nice change of pace, unlike the streets. Customer service is definitely not up to par as in the US. But thats ok. Were in Baecelona. They are quick to get your order. Paella takes 30 min to come out which they tell you. They spend the majority of the other time running around busy, which means they basically leave you alone borderline ignore you. We had to flag them down multiple times to put in more drink orders. But I guess I didnt come here for service. They also kept bringing the wrong tables food to our table at the beginning, which was kinda annoying. But food and drinks do come out quickly, and I appreciate them telling me that paellas takes about 30 min to come out. But the food was amazing. And the drinks were the best drinks we've had on vacation these past 3 weeks in over 3 countries and 5 cities, which is saying a lot. Enough to overcome the service issues. We had the following amazing dishes: 1. Paella de marisco- like any other paella places, its for 2 people, and the price is x2. Its a really large dish. Comes served in cast iron. It smells amazing and tastes even more amazing!! Good amount of seafood. Rice is cooked well. I love the sauce its in. And the cast iron really crisps up the bottom of the rice really well. And who doesnt love crunchy rice, it really gives it a nice texture and adds a different dimension and flavor. 2. Grilled squid- whole baby squids grilled. Not burnt. Cooked well, not chewy. I love the pesto sauce its in. And the lemon you squeeze over it just puts it over the top. Very well done. Great appetizer. Came out super quick. 3. Fried potatoes in garlic aioli. The potatoes were cooked well. I didnt care for the aioli sauce. I much prefer the bravas sauce instead. But also a good appetizer that came out quickly. The drinks were so good. We ordered 4 different drinks. At first I was just glad they had cocktails on the menu as suppose to just wines or sangria or beer. They have 4 different cocktails. We tried 3 of them and they were just so good!! Truly amazing. Perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol. 1. Sex on the beach- looks pretty. Tastes amazing. Super refreshing. Sweet but in a good way. A must order. 2. Tinto de verano- really good sangria mixed with lemon soda. It was very smooth. Tasted great. I really enjoyed it. It was such a nice mouth feel. Really refreshing and light. 3. Mojito- this one was good too. What a mojito should taste like. Not alcohol forward. And way at the bottom, little sugar crystals. It was very good. And cold!! 4. Sangria- didnt care too much for this one. It was ok. Had better. Overall the food was amazing. They didnt offer us any desserts. Which I'm sad about because I wpulsbe ordered some. We had some left overs which was good for a late night meal. All that we ordered came out to 80 something euros which I dont think is bad at all!! Really enjoyed the food, and for the drinks alone, I would come back!!

Our group was craving paella and this was an experience.

They have an open concept kitchen where you can watch them make the paella and there's a stool to take pictures. Our group got the 4 course meal and everything was fantastic, but I absolutely loved the crudo. I would have to say that my favorite paella was the noodle dish because of the texture and how much it soaked up the flavors. Would highly recommend a visit here for an upscale paella experience.

I'm here to tell you that the tapas were tapa-ing hardcore. They were simply scrumptious! Saw this place during my walk down Rambla de Catalunya. It's perfectly tucked right in the heart of the busy street, and they have a lovely patio area that's right in the thick of it all. Unfortunately, the patio was full and busy, so I opted for a table inside. Definitely wasn't a bad choice. Their interior is so cute and cozy! The Spanish bodega vibes were swarming all over the place. I just loved it. I've learned that the service element in Spain is generally very different from the US. In saying this; don't expect to be wowed by the service here. But the tapas are truly scrumptious! I enjoyed the followed tapas: Grilled prawns - Geeeezuuus! These were mouthwatering! I grew up eating prawns without the heads and skins on, but now I understand why they keep them on here. The prawn heads preserve all of the juiciness and flavors. These were cooked and seasoned perfectly and I could not get enough. Fried potatoes - Amazing! I've had these at Spanish restaurants in the US, but there really IS a difference in the way that they're prepared here. The crispiness is just delightful, but it's the sauces that really did it for me. Not sure what kind of sauces were used (one red and one white) but they added a beautiful taste to these already yummy potatoes. Meat croquettes - Scrumptious! These croquettes have a mix of minced meats inside that are so tender and flavorful. And the breading is absolutely perfect. They paired perfectly with my wine too. Speaking of wine; the Spanish red wine that I had was dynamite! Can't comment on the specific varietal but it was so smooth and silky. I meeeaan... dinner was delicious!!! They set the bar pretty high for the restaurants that followed. Although the service wasn't the best, the wine and tapas most certainly impressed. I'd come back for more of those tasty tapas any day.

We came in and ordered a pulpo de la gallega, pig ears, razor clams and jamon croquettes. The pulpo was delicious and satisfied my craving! It was cooked perfectly, tender and well seasoned from the salt and paprika. The razor clams were a little gritty, so I don't think they were cleaned well. But they also gave us a generous serving of razor clams! Pig ear were good, but I couldn't eat too much of it because it was very gelatinous. The ham croquettes were also enjoyable, crispy on the outside and generously filled with a velvety sauce. To complement your meal, you absolutely must get their lemon beer! Your experience here is not complete without the lemon beer! I saw a lot of other reviews saying the staff isn't the most amicable or pleasant here, but I honestly had a great time here. Our server was rather welcoming and hospitable! Everything on the menu is in Spanish and the workers speak mostly Spanish, but I think you can always show pics and point.
