    I would highly recommend the Las Tapas in Old Town (right on King Street). If that is the one from the previous post, I could not disagree more. I have never had a bad meal there and the paella is very good. I will admit that in all except one meal I had tapas, the other was paella. The tapas were excellent, and better than Jalaeo or any other place I have been to. Stay away from the tapas that are not tapas (like the quesadilla; if you want tex-mex, go to a tex-mex place). The chicken croquetas are excellent and authentic. The sangria is also excellent.

      I saw it on Las Tapas menu when we were there on Sunday but our entire meal wasn't so great, so I'm not sure I'd suggest that place- sorry kind of a mixed message

        Jaleo has a pretty good on and so does the Park Cafe up near Lincoln Park in NE
