    La Oca doesn't look like much from the outside. The entrance is small, rather narrow, and doesn't look like it would lead into much. To one side are 4 racks of chickens roasting on a rotisserie and on the other side a refrigerated meat case. The chickens are pretty much rotisserie chickens, the same as commonly found in many American super markets, but the meats are something else. They are very appealing, look very nice, with large sirloin (known as entrecote, though such is generally a ribeye cut in most places) cuts of veal not commonly found in the United States which was what lured me into La Oca. Upon entering the main dining area I was surprise by its size and pleasant décor. Indeed very nice; rather upscale in appearance. I was given a standard menu in Spanish, English and French along with a daily menu. At first I was going to go for the eel, but finding that it was an imitation eel, went with the sirloin cut of veal which I had seen in their refrigerated case. Though their rotisserie chicken look good and was recommended to me by my server, I decided against it as I figured I didn't travel all the way to Spain to merely dine on some barnyard cluck I could have just about anywhere. My meal came with a rather simple salad merely comprised of some fresh sliced red peppers, lettuce and onion with a few ripe and green olives; nothing special but not bad. As for my veal dish, it came with fries, a roasted red pepper and the veal though grilled hardly had any char to it. However, the flavor was good and the cut tender. Really the best thing about La Oca is the pleasant dining atmosphere and the service of the wait staff, all of whom were properly dress and professional in every way.

    We called on here on our last night after we had enjoyed this place the first time we visited last year. As with our previous visit the service on here is good. There is plenty of waiters to serve and the turnover of tables is at a record speed. I had the 1/2 roast chicken. It was simply gorgeous. Very delicious in deed, you must try this. My partner had a pizza, and he claims its was also delicious. The price of the food in La Oca is very reasonable and that coupled with excellent service warrants the 5th star. This is a very busy restaurant and can cater to larger parties if required. The maitre dee is very welcoming and it's nice to be acknowledged from the moment that arrive. Go visit this place, you will not regret it!

    I'm never disappointed when I eat here, the food is always tasty, great quantity, the matching of the spices to arrive at the desired dish is a work of genius. What seems to be home cooking is there to do a dance of salsa, merengue, and possibly hip hop to your tongue senses and your tummy.

    The steak and chicken were ok but chicken seems a little over done and salty. That is the highlight. Otherwise this is not a dining experience u want to repeat. The sale was iceberg lettuce and too much onion. The sides were fries, tomatoes or mushrooms for 3 to 5 €. The garlic bread was a piece of toast with a piece of raw garlic and a tomato that I had to peel and assemble myself. Not sure if this is a Spanish custom but I was not a fan. Everything was mediocre at best. The lighting was bright and cafeteria like, tables were crowded and food was delivered to your table prior to having tasted salad. This seems like an effort to cattle drive people for profit without any intention of delivering a dining experience. I read the reviews as I sat down and was concerned. It sure what happened that the one reviewer gave it a 5-* rating but the other reviewer was spot on.

    A very traditional style Spanish restaurant with a focus on quick service. I found the food very average. I had a cannelloni which was quite a small portion and somewhat forgettable. Friends had a chicken salad. The chicken was bland and really nothing special. On the plus side it is quite cheap. Toilets are very small.

    What really pulled us in was the 4 racks of rotisserie chicken they have cooking right in the middle of the restaurant in the front.

Many restaurants are closed on Sunday evenings, but we were lucky enough to snag early dinner reservations on a balmy evening in May. As we settled into our booth, our waiter Marco stopped by for our drinks order while we perused the menu. I asked Marco if he knows what a Lemon Drop is (not every restaurant in Spain does) and he said, "Of course!" Boyfriend ordered his usual very dry martini, up with a twist. First up was the Mr. Porter focaccia bread with a hummus, herbs, olive oil and yogurt dip, a different bread choice from most steakhouses and really fresh and good. Next was the Taboon Roasted Foie Gras, which was flavorful, rich and perfectly cooked. We ordered steaks, peppercorn sauce and a side of the Black Garlic Broccoli, perfectly cooked and just wonderful. Marco was so funny and sweet and attentive. He took a photo of us to remember our trip by. This is among the best steakhouses we've visited worldwide. We will definitely return on our next trip to Barcelona.
