Tue Jul 01 20:38:07 -0700 2003 0 Mike D. 1 1077982 I was there a few weeks ago. A nice change of pace. A crazy menu of assorted tapas--I cannot remember exactly what I had, but there is a wide selection and the dishes are tapas-sized and reasonably priced. The only thing that is sizable is the paella which is so-so. Very cordial service, especially the maitre d'. Have fun!

The place was ridiculously loud but fun and lively. I recommend it. Wed Jul 02 07:02:41 -0700 2003 1077977 0 CiaoNewYork 1 1078072 I was there a few weeks ago. Some of the tapas were amazing and some of them were only so-so. Our waitress was very friendly. I was there on a Wednesday night when I guess it wasn't so busy, so unlike CiaoNewYork's experience, my experience there was more of the calming, relaxed type. You have to get their specialty Azafran (white) Sangria. It was very good.

As with CiaoNewYork, I'd say it was pretty crowded - we had a reservation, but had to wait for at least a half hour or more. Some standout tapas included gambas en salsa verde, patatas con tres salsas (we asked for extra aioli sauce - it's a little different than patatas allioli, since it's not mixed in, but it's good), ensalada de zanahoria, gambas a la plancha, and various charcuterie. The croquetas (queso, jamon), weren't that good, IMHO, but some at the table loved them. The ceviche was also very good. Thu Jul 03 11:19:03 -0700 2003 1077977 0 sweettooth
