This charming little restaurant had been closed for renovations, and while I'm not exactly sure when they reopened, the updated space looks wonderful and cozy. The service is humble and friendly, but please be patient - the server is also the cook, and the whole staff pitches in to keep things running smoothly. Since it's a smaller establishment, if you need anything, it's best to walk up to the front and ask for assistance. I ordered two chicken tacos and two spicy beef tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying!

However, it was so worth it when we at down to eat. Got the potato ball, tostonas, beef stew, beans, and white rice. The flavor was delicious and I can't wait to go back to try more of their pastries that they are known for. I did not want to over order my first time in case I didn't like the food. Wish I did get a to go order to eat at home. Give it a try!

(Disclaimer I'm writing this review based on their food truck )…read more Today I went to their food truck and ordered a 2-parcha/ passion fruit drink, plantain with meat, and some type of sandwich. This should have at least taken 20 minutes tops for a food truck but it took 2 hours including the drink. Overall, the food was good. The sandwich was really good but the plantain felt thrown together and way too oily, and at that point, I just threw it away. Wish they did better because I was excited for the food but I feel like it wasn't worth the wait.

It doesn't seem like you should be able to execute paella this good in a Food Hall where people are expecting quick turnaround on their meals, but I thought my Valencia Paella was very good. Per the menu, it had shrimp, clams, octopus, squid, peas and seasoned rice. The clams and different sizes of shrimp were most visible. I especially loved all the baby sized shrimp. The seafood had good texture and everything was well seasoned. People who are hardcore paella purists may say, "yeah, but it didn't have the crispy rice parts that meet the pan (the socarrat)." I wouldn't expect that out of a Food Hall paella place, but if that's what you're looking for, you may need to find a nice sit down Spanish or Portuguese restaurant and wait a while for that to be cooked. 4.5 Stars.

We shared the seafood paella; they make it to order so i was able to ask for no octopus and mussels, and have more shrimp and fish. It was outstanding and so were our cocktails. This is a new favorite restaurant for me. A note of warning: this is an expensive restaurant... the bill for 2 of us was $200, but that is with four $15 cocktails. My apologies... i was too distracted to remember to take photos, but I do plan to return and will do better next time.

The plantain is always just the right texture and the chicken is very tender. It doesn't really travel well though so you just have to use a fork to put everything back together. The steak is good, but it is a bit salty and the white rice cancels it out a bit. Super filling!

Our meeting with 17 women and 8 Hartford Police officers who came to answer our questions about personal and Internet safety was a positive experience, led by our friend Hyacinth Yennie. This community activist spends her time at the Senior Citizen Wellness Center down the street, where she leads activities and trips for older residents of the neighborhood. Delicious food, attentive service, and affordable prices made this restaurant a positive choice for our monthly support group meeting. The hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches, and desserts hit the spot while we engaged with South End police officers who answered our questions about safety and gave short, helpful talks. All in all, it was a positive experience. We will return for the delicious Spanish food and the excellent service from the wait staff. Thank you, Lo Sano, for a wonderful dining experience.

We actually didn't know anything about and what they served. Inside was beautifully decorated and we were seated quickly. We looked at the menu and saw they served Peruvian food. We never had it. We started with the trio empanadas and each one was delicious. If I had to choose one I pick the chicken as the top empanada. I didn't know what to order for the entree and the waiter recommended the Seco De Tría and Lomo Saltado. One was a short rib and the other was a beef stir fry. Both were very delicious! The waiter was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

I'll leave a couple bucks anyhow. Here's the catch. You pick it up around the last hour of closing and you can get a random box of food. This is unique! It helps restaurants get rid of food that would otherwise be thrown out at the end of the night or at least drive in more business towards the tail end of business hours. I've noticed only a few places have signed up in the nearby area. I've been here a few times. It's a nice place! Puerto Rican food is good! Please bring your own bag. Wish me luck! The wait was only a few minutes (like five or so). It's your typical take out container. This is beef stew on rice! That's a good portion size too! It is yummy!

I really used to love Barcelona, but to be honest, I think the quality has fallen off. Dined here…read morewith friends last night. We had a small seafood paella and several tapas. As a general observation, tapas portions are minuscule. Here is the rundown: -Jamon and cheese croquetas: 4 small pieces, good not great -Gambas: tasty but it would be hard for the shrimp to be any smaller -Tortilla: very small portion and slightly runny -Albondigas: these were good -Pulpo: It was so tough that it was no edible - not sure if it was just overcooked. -Paella: The paella was spicy - everyone at the table agreed, it had a kick. Authentic Spanish paella is not spicy. I have had it at Barcelona at least a half dozen times through the years - never spicy. While the food was meh, the drinks were really good, but don't think I will go back anytime soon.
