Authentic Spanish food! We were wandering around the area and bumped into this wonderful restaurant. Friendly service and we ordered as suggested. And to no disappointment.

If you're looking for a legitimate, authentic, Spanish place, this is it. The guys who work here all seem to be Spaniards, and the paella is outstanding.
