Das Essen ist lecker aber sehr fettig. Man muss sich bewusst sein das Tapas essen ein teures Unterfangen ist und 25€ für 1l Sangria finde ich auch bissel zu überzogen. Kellner sind nett und fleißig.

Sehr gemütlich eingerichtetes Restaurant mit sehr leckeren Gerichten; wir haben uns die Premium Tapas schmecken lassen. Am Freitag Abend waren alle Tische besetzt, eine Reservierung ist zu empfehlen.

Buenos dias amigos :) Typical Spanish " Tapas " bar, we found near to Albertplatz. From first seconds until end it was little bit chaotic with service, but it was understandable ( full house inside , outside ;)). Lets go to food -> plate from premium tapas ( salmon, entrecote steak with tomato salsa, potatoes, mushrooms with chicken, chorizo, etc) it was reaaaaly good!! Separately we order croquetas de espinacha and cheese -> highlight of the dinner, full of flavors , full of cheese ... veggie dish which is necessary to try 👌👌 Beer of "Pilsner type " was better than expected , I was looking for some ciders , but unfortunately it was not in menu, or i am blind 😁 Interior is typical Spanish, generally it is so nice :) Final review is 9,8 /10* ( 0,2* down for lomger waiting ) Enjoy this restaurant in city center of Dresden !
