We had a mixed salad, fried anchovies and seafood paella. The salad was average, the anchovies were perfect, the paella was a bit bland with green beans, small tasteless shrimp, four mussels and a few calamari rings. We had heard they started taking credit cards and confirmed that with the hostess when we arrived and were seated but when we went to pay the waiter said they only took cash (am bar) and gave us attitude before eventually getting the credit card reader.

This was not an exception. The food was VERY salty. We ordered Jamon Serrano pata negra but they told us they didn't have it. The garlic chicken was good but not authentic Spanish style. Overall we had a lot of fun, maybe the 1/2 liter Rioja carafe helped. The waiter was from Peru and really nice so the service was good. Wish the tapas were more authentic flavors.

There were two rounds: first six (again, we were three) cold tapas, and then six hot tapas. None of them were exceptional. The service was really the worst part though.

I'd recommend somewhere else!

Very friendly owner, who will sit next to you to take your order, make oinking noises if you order pork in English, push the upsell (whether it be prawns, or bread and aioli, or Prosecco), and always with a smile that makes you feel like family. Some elements are middling (quality of pork, or iceberg lettuce in the salad), and some are really good (rose cava champagne; physalis; chorizo).

We don't speak much German or Portuguese but wanted to eat here because of the Google Reviews…read more (Sorry, Yelp isn't that big where we were at!) So glad we did. My boyfriend and I very elementarily explained to the waiter that we trusted his judgment and to give us something he likes to eat. He asked if we liked seafood and said there's a plate where we can share some fish and some salad. Okay, sounds good. Homeboy did not fail us. After some delicious Portuguese wine a giant platter comes out with so much seafood. I was thinking a couple of filets of fish, not a huge seafood platter with different pieces of fish (swordfish, salmon, and a white fish that was so good but due to the language barrier will now always be a mystery fish), shrimps, clams, squid, octopus, potatoes and so much more. The photo really doesn't do it justice. It just looks like a giant mess, but I assure you it was one of our best meals on the entire 2 week trip and one we still talk about often. And yes, we got a little plate of salad before the platter came out. It was so much food and definitely a clean protein meal. Loved it and loved this place!

Our experience here wasn't very good. =(…read more One of my friends is vegetarian, so right after we sat down we asked about vegetarian dishes. The waiter meant: "we have chicken, but only one left!" We wanted to ordered some tapas, but he didn't have 2 other things - pimientos de padron and another one which I don't remember. We ended up ordering some other tapas. As for the drinks, we were excited to see that he had "caipirinha Brasileira". Again, he disappointed us and explained that he wouldn't have the time to prepare 3 caipirinhas: "they take too long". My friend proposed Aperol spritz instead. He then, clearly frustrated with us, explained that "aperol is Italian, you are in a Spanish place!" come on! It's not like we wanted super complicated things... When you have no vegetarian options and you aren't serving half of the things on your menu... Then something is wrong.at least considering that anywhere in Berlin one would be able to find those things easily. And that is the problem of the place, in my opinion. It looks nice and authentic. And the food was ok. But try really made a restaurant "like in Spain". It's a shame. I'm a BIG fan of authentic cuisines and I'm not German, but I would expect that you try to suit a little bit your consumers. Anyways, this was all quite frustrating, but we decided to overlook it all and give the tapas a try. They were ok... A little too salty (like a previous reviewer has noticed), but in a relative big portion. We were actually planning on ordering a second round of tapas, but they weren't that good and the portions are big, so we decided it was not worth it. Instead, we ordered a Crema Catalana to share. Unfortunately it was very burnt on the top. We didn't want to complain because the waiter had already been rude before and we didn't feel like discussing. We ordered the bill. When it arrived we asked to pay separately, which is absolutely normal in Berlin (but apparently is not in Spain). He just replied: "it's all written there, calculate yourself..." and left. We were too nice and even left a tip. It wasn't worth it.
