I can't speak to the quality of the main drinks, since we stuck to the mimosas. They were alright, but anything that's actually a buck nowadays is getting 5 stars from me unless it's downright bad. These weren't bad, and they offered multiple juice options to mix it up. The food is fantastic. Between the flavor and presentation, you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. The server was very friendly and the place is nice and clean. We'll be back.

The service was attentive and smooth throughout. I ordered the patatas bravas, charuterie, and a kale Caesar salad, all were fresh and flavorful. Highights from the meal included the Motadito de Chistorra with Spanish sausage, piquilo confit, and Manchego, perfect for meat and cheese lovers. The Truffle Carbonara was rich and indulgent, and the Bulla Burger with caramelized onions and honey thyme glaze was a hit, especially paired with the saucy papas bravas. Great food, great service, I'm already looking forward to coming back.

It's a nice Spanish-themed cuisine restaurant, lots of tapas and Mediterranean cuisine. It was good! Decent cocktail and wine menus as well. We dined on muchas tapas... patatas bravas, lentil soup, Spanish meatballs, potato tortilla, gazpacho, just to name a few. All were good. Service was OK too. Typical mall restaurant where ceiling fixtures are crooked, burned out lightbulbs in many fixtures, dirty ceiling tiles. Food gave it 4 stars, the space itself is mediocre!

We came with our toddler, and they were very accommodating, asking if we preferred a booth or a table since we'd be clipping her high chair onto the table. Mood inside is dimly lit with Miró prints on the walls. A number of groups there that night were celebrating birthdays, so it was definitely a good vibe! We all ordered sangrias, 2 of the Miró (red) sangrias and 2 of the passion fruit (white, sparkling) sangrias. All were so delicious! Amongst the 4 of us, we split the paella de carne, gambas al ajillo, mejillones, and pulpo gallego - this was the perfect amount of food! The warm rolls they provided were so good on their own and even more amazing when dipped in the shrimp and mussel sauces. We ended the night with a flan, which was nice and caramel-y. Service was friendly, and they did speak Spanish, which was a bonus for us. I'll definitely be returning and recommending to others!

The skinny ranch water was crisp and they also made me an excellent off menu mezcal Negroni. We had the empanadas and the fried calamari to start. The latter was especially good. If I'm ever back I'd explore the tapas more. I had the wild caught Caravina, a delicious white fish, nicely seared and beautifully presented. The paella also looked great. Would have loved to try the flan, but we'd had plenty of food by then. The service was excellent. We weren't rushed and our server had great recommendations. The ambience was very relaxed and it wasn't too noisy, making it easy to talk and catch up. A nice spot for an enjoyable evening out.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo here, but we really came for the Honduran and Salvadoran food more than…read moreMexican. We got way too much food and I'm still in a food coma. We ordered a pork and cheese Pupusa, Baleada #5, chorizo tacos, the Salvadoran steak, tres leches, and horchata. For $6 I thought the Baleada would be small, but it was huge. It could have been my whole meal. It was all fantastic. My favorite thing was the Pupusa followed very closely by the Baleada. The tacos were great, but they didn't stand out as much to me since I don't see baleadas and pupusas on as many menus around. The sweet treats were great. I loved both the tres leches and the horchata. I think the tres leches was the best I've had. They aren't doing curbside right now, so you'll need to order over the phone and go inside to pick it up. They also can't take payment over the phone, so you have to pay inside. These weren't the best for social distancing, but luckily no one was inside when we were there. There are a lot of comments in reviews about them not speaking English well, but that was not a problem for me. The Batch Maker recommended this for Honduran food and I'm so glad she did. We loved it and it's not something you see much around Charlotte!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Our meal was excellent as it has consistently been, especially since the changes have been made to the restaurant. I want to make sure that I mention the cleanliness of the women's bathroom. This is the second time in a row that I've used it and it is very well maintained. It's large, clean and odorless. It gives me an overall positive feeling about the restaurant, which adds to my comfort when we eat here. We love coming here. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are just right, and the servers are attentive and friendly. A great experience!!

Everyone at the table seem to love their choice. I opted for the vegandillo, which is a vegan take or plant-based take on the Picadillo! If you like lentils, rice, mushrooms, and raisins, you will like this dish as I did. It also comes with plantains and avocado. I ate every last drop of it, but I enjoy lentils. My husband had some sort of what I would call a soup or stew served over rice. It had clams, fish, shrimp, and maybe mussels too. I can't eat much seafood, but he said it was excellent. It had a coconut based broth, but he said it was very balanced, not overly coconut-y, but rich and full of flavor. He, as I did, ate his to the last drop. I had their spin on a margarita, and it was absolutely awesome. I'm not one to get mixed cocktails often, because truth be told, I don't enjoy the actual taste of alcohol, but the way they mixed and matched this drink, it was perfect for me. My husband tasted it and cosigned it as well, which means for those of you who do like the taste of alcohol, you should enjoy it also! Our waitress was very attentive and made sure our water glasses never ran dry and got the checks correct as well, which again is pretty impressive for a large group as ours! This is on the south side of Charlotte, and we live in Huntersville, so it's a bit of a trek to get there, but it's one we're willing to make every once in a while!

I have been here a bunch but it's been a while and I decided the restaurant week deal was too good to pass up. The value for money is probably the best out of all restaurants participating. Everything we had to eat was phenomenal (meat and cheese, patatas bravas, croquettes, flank steak, cheesecake). Mainly writing this review because of the service - I joked with the sommelier (?) that you'd never know this is technically a "chain" because the experience is so intimate and feels local. Our hostess (so sorry can't remember her name) checked us in and let us grab a drink at the bar as we were early to our reservation. When my boyfriend went over to ask about the potential for getting a booth, because we're both very tall, she remembered his name and made it happen. Our server, Nick, was the best. So attentive without being too much, and timed each course perfectly so we weren't overwhelmed with food nor waiting around for the next dishes. Our sommelier (I think that's what it is) was also a delight to have around. The manager came over when we first got seated to give us water for the table, and I really appreciated seeing that as opposed to someone overseeing in the background. It's so nice to see a restaurant function efficiently without sacrificing personality and experience.
