I ordered oxtails with…read morerice and peas, but instead received jerk chicken -- a dish I cannot eat due to health reasons. Here's what went wrong: * The restaurant admitted their mistake (the owner confirmed I was given someone else's order) but refused to make it right, offering no solution and even allowing an employee to treat me rudely when I followed up. * Uber Eats' app promised I'd get an immediate call from the driver to resolve the issue -- but no call ever came. * I submitted a ticket right away, but Uber didn't reply until the next day. By then, it was too late. Bottom line: The restaurant showed no accountability, with zero consideration to even allow a local taxi or employee to quickly deliver to me the correct meal and Uber Eats failed to provide timely or meaningful support. I was left without a meal and without proper resolution. As someone who travels frequently for work and relies on food delivery, this was a deeply frustrating experience.

The only thing I don't understand is why they miked the guitar in a smallish restaurant so Smartwatches kept flashed "louder than 90dB" warnings. It really wasn't necessary. But you go to a restaurant for the food. And my food was a 2 with the wind behind it. I had the Chicken Extremena, which is chicken filets with onions, red peppers, potatoes and Spanish sausage. Yes, all those ingredients were in the dish. It was too salty although it did have a bit of a kick. All in all, the ingredients didn't blend well, it sort of seemed like they were thrown together and doused in a generic . A friend had the Veal Corunesa, which is veal and mushrooms sauteed in brandy sauce. She stated that a fine piece of veal was cut into little pieces, overcooked and swimming in brandy sauce. Now, the people who ordered the pan fried filet of fish and the pork chops had good meals. But the chef should be able to do something other than panfry and broil. Last point, I had a chocolate brownie with walnuts and vanilla ice cream for dessert. I am know for my proclivity to eat anything chocolate. I took a bite of a dry brownie and ate the vanilla ice cream. I heard the tiramisu was good. But I didn't have the tiramisa. Service was prompt, surroundings pleasant. So here's the deal. The quality of the food was too erratic to be three stars. The entertainment was very pleasant, so averaging a 4 + 2 equals 3. I have no desire to go back and try again. There are so many good Spanish restaurants in Essex County even outside of the Ironbound that going here for a dinner just seems to be a waste.

The calamari was decent, but next time I'd ask for it extra crispy. The sauce on the side was delicious: sweet, savory, and had a little kick without being spicy. & now the ribeye? Absolutely marvelous. The Latin fried rice was chef's kiss, with veggies, shrimp, and a fried egg on top! so good. The tostones and maduros were cooked to perfection. The steak honestly didn't even need the chimichurri sauce, but I did dunk a tostone in it, and that sauce was full of flavor too. My waiter, William, was amazing from start to finish welcoming, attentive, polite, knowledgeable, & prompt. I finished with a cafecito for dessert, and it was flavorful and delicious.

The restaurant is small, seating only about 25-30 people, creating an intimate atmosphere. However, the lighting is so dim that I had to take a second look just to read the menu. I'll start with the positive: our waiter was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. My only criticism was that he couldn't really recommend a standout dish when we asked what the restaurant was known for. For appetizers, I ordered the octopus. Unfortunately, it was inconsistent. Half was perfectly tender, while the other half was so tough it was difficult to chew. It was served over an ajillo sauce that was good, but not enough to save the dish. My husband ordered empanadas. The steak filling was much better than the chicken. He asked if he could order one steak, one shrimp, and one chicken, but was told they don't allow mixing flavors. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye with white rice and beans and added a lobster tail with butter sauce. The ribeye itself was cooked well, but the sides were disappointing. The beans had a strange flavor, and the rice was mushy and completely lacked seasoning. The lobster tail was fine, but nothing special. The ribeye was $58, and adding the lobster tail brought the plate to $72. At that price point, I expected an exceptional meal, not one where the sides were the weakest part of the plate. My husband ordered the skirt steak with peppers, French fries, and maduros. His steak was good, but we both agreed the side options felt like an odd combination. The menu could definitely use some more thoughtful pairings. We boxed up our leftovers, but unfortunately the food didn't even reheat well the next day. Our bill came to $233 for two people. On top of that, gratuity was automatically added, and there was a $10 fee for paying with a debit card. That was an unpleasant surprise and made an already expensive meal feel even more overpriced. For over $200, I expect to leave saying, "I can't wait to come back." Instead, I left feeling like I had paid Manhattan prices for a very average meal. Unfortunately, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for, and I don't think we'll be back. FYI: everything says M/P on it for Market Price. Which means they can charge you what they see fit which gives me an inconsistent vibe.

The ambiance was quiet, but it was a Wednesday night. But for the food. Both were disappointed in the main entrees. The soups they ordered were lobster bisque and the soup de jour. The lobster bisque was delicious, but it had very few pieces of lobster. My husband's friend said, "I had the soup of the day. It was vegetables with some pasta." His only opinion was Main entrees. My husband had Crab Stuffed Flounder (Filetes Recheados), basically stuffed fish with crab, but my husband had to ask what kind of fish because the menu simply stated stuffed fish fillets w/ crab meat. It wasn't lump crab meat but a pasty mixture of crab. For the price, he expected to have all crab meat. $33.00 His friend got the Arroz de Camarão, aka shrimp with yellow rice. There was a lot of rice and barely any shrimp. $30.00. Overall, the food was disappointing, especially given the prices, but the service and atmosphere were nice.
