We ordered the paella for four with skirt steak, white asparagus, and saffron rice. The portion size was unbelievable. Not only did it feed us dinner that night, but I enjoyed the leftovers for six meals afterward. The saffron rice was rich and flavorful, the skirt steak was tender, and the white asparagus added a nice touch that made the dish feel special. For dessert, we brought home the Basque cheesecake with fig sauce. It was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness from the fig sauce. Many people rave about the cheesecake, and after trying it myself, I understand why. It was absolutely delicious. We also picked up a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine for $25 each. Both wines paired beautifully with the food and made our takeout dinner feel a little more special. What impressed me most was how well everything traveled. The food tasted as good at home as it would have in a restaurant, and the generous portions meant we enjoyed El Basque for days. Great food, great value, and a meal that kept on giving. We'll definitely be back.

The texture was a bit mushy but it was well seasoned. One friend got the steak served with crispy potatoe wedges and the other the cod. Hands down both were amazing. Fish was some of the best with a cava sauce which was light. The steak was cooked to perfection and the wedges were tasty delights of crunch on the outside and softness in.

Everything is seasoned perfectly, and the quality of the food is truly top-notch. What makes this restaurant even more special is the owners. They are genuinely wonderful people who take so much pride in what they do, and it shows in both the food and the experience. I've had Cuban food at plenty of places, but Rumba Cuban Cafe really stands out. The flavors, the quality, and the people behind it make this restaurant something special.

Visited BCN Paella for the first time for an early Thursday dinner. The ambiance is cozy with simple décor in a small strip mall. There are plenty of parking in front of restaurant. For a dinner for two, we normally ordered two tapas and share a paella with some sangria. For this visit, we just ordered one tapa, Pincho Moruno and their signature BCN Paella. The Pincho Moruno is skewed pork marinated with a spicy Moroccan spice with three sauce, rosemary garlic and aioli sauce. The presentation was well done. The skewers rested on nice bed of lettuce. It is absolutely delicious! A small dish of hand cut fried potato cubes were a great compliment. The BCN Paella with chicken, chorizo, shrimp, red peppers and peas served in the paella pan. We were debating whether to order the seafood paella (Gran Mixta) but wife preferred no calamari and mussels for tonight's dinner. The portion is huge and more than enough for two! It took a little time to prepare paella. It was the best paella we had in a long time! I wanted a beignet with chocolate for dessert but was quickly refused by wife. She said, "Next time!"

To celebrate, my mom and I ordered a bottle of moscato which went well with the food. We ordered the mojellas as an app for the table and they were unfortunately they were not good. There was not enough lemon in the world to help it taste better either. The mojellas tasted like they were boiled and then thrown on the parilla, and left too crunchy. We let the waiter know we couldn't even finish them after everyone had a bite and we agreed they were bad. Luckily the waiter liked them since he told us he ate what we didn't eat, you're welcome for the appetizer we ended up paying for guy! SMH The sizzln Naples menu had a 4 course meal and we were almost jipped our eggplant, I had to tell waiter at the end and he was able to pack it up for us and we took it home. El panqueque de dulce de leche luckily was good, they didn't add chocolate upon request. Husband liked the dulce de leche empanada and the main meals were good. The provoletta and main course meals were good. However, we were shocked when the bill came and the gratuity was included at a 20%... for a party of 4. There was no indication of this beforehand either. So 20% AND we paid for the waiters appetizer. It's a no from me, I don't think I'll be coming back. Vine aquí con mis padres y mi esposo para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi mami. Pudimos pedir el menú "Sizzle Naples", que consta de cuatro tiempos. Para celebrar, mi madre y yo pedimos una botella de moscato que maridaba bien con la comida. Pedimos las mollejas como aperitivo para compartir, pero lamentablemente no estaban buenas; ni siquiera una cantidad industrial de limón lograba mejorarles el sabor. Parecía que las habían hervido antes de pasarlas por la parrilla, dejándolas con una textura demasiado dura y crujiente. Le avisamos al camarero que ni siquiera pudimos terminarlas; todos las probamos y coincidimos en que eran malas. Por suerte, al camarero sí le gustaron, ya que nos dijo que se comió lo que nosotros dejamos... ¡de nada por el aperitivo que terminamos pagando nosotros, che! Increíble. El menú "Sizzle Naples" incluía cuatro platos y casi nos quedamos sin la berenjena; tuve que avisarle al camarero al final y él pudo empacarla para que nos la lleváramos a casa. Afortunadamente, el panqueque de dulce de leche estaba rico (no le pusieron chocolate, tal como pedimos). A mi esposo le gustó la empanada de dulce de leche y los platos principales estuvieron bien; tanto la provoleta como los platos fuertes tenían buen sabor. Sin embargo, nos quedamos atónitos al recibir la cuenta y ver que habían incluido una propina del 20%... ¡para un grupo de solo cuatro personas! Tampoco nos habían avisado de esto previamente. Así que pagamos el 20% de propina Y ADEMÁS pagamos el aperitivo del camarero. Para mí es un "no"; no creo que vuelva.
