Probably one of the best paellas I've had! The socarrat and arroz negro paella are my fav! Get the pitcher of red sangria its worth it! And try the croquetas of the day! All tapas you can't go wrong

Trang Tran

Best paella I've had in NYC. Didn't think I would enjoy the Carne Paella as much as I did. Tapas (fried artichokes , bacon/dates, sizzling shrimp , octopus ) & flan are great too.

Monique Smith

Went there for the 1st time yesterday and had the seafood paella . It was tasty beyond belief. The flan was also some of the best flan I've had in a while.

Ryan Sidawi

Was taken here for my 30th birthday. Service was exceptional. Even with Covid restrictions, they went over and beyond in accommodating. Would highly recommend this restaurant . Also food was excellent.

Fantabuous

Super delicious Spanish cuisine . Just like how I had my dishes in Southern España. Highly recommend the paella , Gambia de Akiyo, y Pulpo !

Mandar M

This place has the best music selection of all the Spanish restaurants I have been to ... Amazing flamenco guitar, classic violin etc feels like you have been transported to Spain

J

go with Gambas Al Ajillo as a starter and for the main course Paella Pescado Y Marisco ????

Steven Y

Most spacious location out of the three, with balcony seating on the 2nd floor; must try the Soccarat paella - portions are large, so order for one less than the number of people seated

Danny

Hey guys come stop by and check out our awesome Paellas and Tapas . Let's not forget our killer $5 happy hour special ! 5-7 everyday M-S. We also over brunch and lunch as well . Xo

Aditi

Arroz negro paella ! Pro tip ask for the hot oil chilli sauce on the side. Perfect combo! And if you see the lamb on the menu just get it.

Marie La Rue

Good for a casual dinner when in the area. Nice selection of tapas . Chorizo and seared ahi tuna were our favorites.

Annie Alfstad

Awesome crispy rice Piaia, decent tapas - tho don't get the pork belly . Nice place for $5 glass of wine happy hr and half off tapas til 7!

María Paz Domínguez

Yes, great paella ! One order of paella can feed 4 people. However, if you share it they will charge you for 2 people. That's the downside of this place.

Bacon Dates are Very Good so is the Classic Gin & Tonic

Nicolette Romero

You can't beat their 3 tapas for $14 deal during happy hour . Grab a table by the window, sip $5 sangria and people watch .

Angela Isabel

Paellas take time to cook but the wait is worth it!

Lucas Guterres

Very nice place, great service and spanish beers , and an amazing Paella !

Mandar M

If you wait too long the paella will stick to the pan ... No worries .. Your awesome waitress comes by and offers to scrape and mix it up for you :)

Andrew Lim

Fantastic paella - I've had a few of the non-seafood ones (I don't like seafood ) and they've all been great.

Valentina Monte

Yumminess by way of sangria and scallops and the pork belly (and a very attractive , flirtatious Spaniard named Carlo).

Alefiyah

Best Paella I have ever tasted in NY and the red wine sangria was perfectly balanced! Will definitely come back.

Monday Lisa

I’ve eaten at Socarrat downtown and enjoyed it very much. The paella at this location is not that good for some reason

Xristina Xatziefstratiou

Fatou u are the best! Very nice food, very nice music !!

Jag Firerwalker

They do serve none ale beer . Win all the way for that. Oh they do have Spanish food

Mandar M

Arroz negro seafood paella is the bomb .. I had them add chorizo instead of calamari .. Mmm mm mmm try it!

Krissy Camisa

Paella ???? amazing...and the octopus !

Olga Zhukova

Try Soccarat Paella ! Fantastic! Good service , nice view from the balcony

Kelsey L

Love the paellas here. Get the bacon wrapped dates too!

Serious Eats

Good paella made to order that holds up well for takeout .

Raul Reyes

All of it amazing, tapas , paella , sangria .

Zach Keeter

Best Paella ever! Awesome sangria and mega-friendly service. A midtown must.

Andy Tao

For paellea, you should get either the socarrat or arroz negro.

Paige C

Delicious octopus and fried artichoke .

Paps

Tapas were great! The bacon wrapped dates won me over ????

Andy Tao

Try the flan for dessert

Steven Rosenblatt

The meat Paella is the way to go. Best thing on the menu.

Flora Cheng

Everything was fine, but please don't get the bacon wrapped dates . The bacon is raw inside.

Peter Olson

All the paellas are amazing - but don't forget the tapas .

Sean Besser

You of course need to get the paella...probably the best in NY

Carly Litman

Happy hour is great! $5 drinks and $16 for three tapas

Jonathan Yeh

The tapas are killing! Must come every week.

Bhavana Rana

Rachel Conforti

Must have the eggplant with goat cheese tapas

Olivia Slutsky

Tasty patatas bravas

Jeanne Meister

Shrimp with garlic us amazing !!!

JM Parveaux

Try the negra paella !

Virginia L.

Their bacon wrapped dates are everything.

Lauren D

I don't understand why happy hour deals only work at the bar . I'm a foot away and ordering food and you're still charging me more than double for a glass of wine ? Your food isn't anything special.

You can't make a bad choice on this menu. The blackened beats, soft shell crab, and pork belly were highlights. Be sure to ask for the sommelier for help with the extensive wine menu - he's great. - Alex Hunsucker
