For tapas, we ordered roasted pablano peppers, bacon-wrapped dates, the fried potatoes with spicy sauce, mussels in a spicy tomato sauce, and fried calamari with garlic aioli. I also ordered the jamon iberico because I was curious to try it. Peppers: Good. Could use a tad more salt. Bacon-wrapped dates: YUM. Fried potatoes: they were good, but I've had better. Mussels: Do not recommend. They were rubbery tasting, and the sauce didn't pair that well. Fried Calamari: Very good. Jamon Iberico: So good, I ordered a second plate and went home feeling a tad...gluttonous... So yep, all in all, I'd recommend this place. Service was friendly, if a bit accident prone that evening (glassware crashed to the floor twice in the two hours we were there). I'd go back!

Started with tapas - shrimp in a garlic tomato sauce and mushrooms with garlic in olive oil. Both were super good.

I understand they need to meet the local German palette but c'mon this is not Cuban food.

Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, and spoke English (which we were appreciative of). They didn't have an English menu, but most of the items on the menu were understandable, and our waitress helped with the rest. I ordered the Hahnchengeschnetzeltes, because I mistakenly misread it as a type of schnitzel. It's not, but it was still good. It was a chicken dish, with a mushroom sauce that tasted similar to curry. My boyfriend and friends ordered a smoked pulled pork sandwich and burgers, which they seemed to enjoy. NOTE: Something I, as an American, wasn't use to.. no glasses of water! You have to purchase bottles of water, and be sure to ask for "water, no gas" or "still water" if you don't want sparkling water. Also, you might as well order a beer, because the prices are almost the same.

The have different kind of foods (and special Valentines offering), but not really pinned down to one kitchen style. Have nice and fresh (even the non-alcoholic) cocktails.
