The gambas al ajillo and patatas aioli are AMMMMAAAAAZING. Really everything we had was delicious - churrasco , chicken croquettes , churros ... Love this place! Highly recommend!
Meatballs , brussel sprouts , papas bravas , ham wrapped fried goat cheese on toast , meatballs , skirt steak , chorizo and manchego toast topped with quail eggs + white sangria ... It was all amazing!
Make sure you make reservations in advance in order to get the best view of the flamenco performance . Every Thursday at 8:30pm and then again at 10:30pm. The seafood tapas are fresh and delicious!
Everything I had here was so good. Standouts are definitely the coconut crepes filled with seafood , the escargot , mango sangria , and blueberry pomegranate sangria !
Some of the best #tapas in #NYC. Have the meat balls , avocado with crab and the garlic prawns and you won't regret it. Don't bother with the patatas Bravas - bit dry.
Very unique but authentic tapas and excellent service! I Recommend the champagne sangria , the patatas aioli , croquetas , and Pulpo a la Gallega (boiled octopus )
Amazing flamenco performance - make sure you pick a table close to the stage! Tapas are good but reviews are probably hyped up too much. Alta remains my favorite tapa place .
Um, yum! The gambas ajilo was the stand out tapa and the sauce was amazing. The red sangria was also tasty and two glasses will definitely get you tipsy!
Enjoyed this for being relaxed and unpretentious unlike most tapas places in NYC -- this place reminded me more of Spain. Great atmosphere. Reliable food. Small place.
Great vibe, amazing music if you like Spanish pop/rock. I loved the red sangría , my friends had the white (I wasn't a big fan). Overall a great experience. Loved our server Jenny, too!
Petotillas queso de cambra basically goat cheese in a croquette wrapped with serrano ham and placed on toast . The skirt streak was good too! I did not enjoy the octopus . Blueberry pomegranate sangria
Disregard all the praise you'll read here for a crab avocado tapa . A lackluster non Spanish made up dish. The churrasco steak on the other hand, now that is a treat.
Didn't like the mango sangria as much as I thought I would, considering the hype. But the coconut creeps with seafood were AMAZING. Get them. Also the potatoes in creamy mayo deliciousness were YUM.
Cheese piementos, patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo for the win! Great sangria as well . Went for a pitcher of red. Cute , rustic feel .
This place is great especially for big groups. Went there with 17 people and they did a prix fixe menu : $45 for family style tapas plus open bar .
Good tapas place . Had the gambas en salsa verde sauce is good with bread too. Waiter suggested calamari cooked in its own ink maybe not for everyone but it was different. Patatas alioli was good too!
Amazing tapas and sangria . Make sure to check out the live flamenco on Thursday’s and fridays
Definitely get the Queso de Cabra!! Amazing (I could say "amazeballs" and literally have it be true but obviously I'm too cool for that)!
Flamenco show and Spanish guitar on Thursdays & Saturdays! the staff are really nice and don't rush you from the table. try the olives stuffed with anchovies and chorizo in cider ;)
Love this place. Everything is deliciousx, but get the oxtail , garlic chicken , any patatas and the pan tumaca. And sangria of course.
Food and drinks are awesome! Mussels , beef , goat cheese , gambas , everything... Will visit again for sure
Love this place! Best tapas , sangria and happy hour prices are excellent! Definitely a must to visit!
The live flamenco shows on Thursdays and Saturdays are so so good! Highly recommended!
Love the croquettes de jambon and the petotillas de queso de cabra. Also try all the sangrias !
I wasn't as impressed with the food the second time. It's okay and a decent spot for tapas with a few greats on the list. Try the blueberry sangria
Quick great quality tapas . Their sangria is watered down, so skip that. Must do the croquettas
Great tapas place . Been here twice and always leaving full with just 3-5 plates & 2 people.
Affordable, delicious, great service. Get the mango sangria (if you're into sweet drinks )
Great tapas , awesome sangria and flamenco shows ! How can you go wrong?
The food is great (get the crepes filled with crabmeat ), but the Flamenco shows they do are what really make this place a no-brainer. Read more
Sangria is great, hope to come back for their other flavors too!
Come here on Thursday and Saturday nights for flamenco! Sangria is a must try.
Excellent service . Food was awesome and the sangria to die for.
Blueberry pomegranate champagne sangria is delicious!
Blueberry Pomegranate Champagne Sangria is yummy! And pitchers are just 20 bucks Monday-Wednesday!! You're welcome :)
I LOVE this place. Food is fantastic. Drinks are good. Dancers are INCREDIBLE!! Awesome place. Can't wait to come back here!
The flamenco was great. Come on Thursdays. Pretty decent potion size / price for tapas .
Great tapas ! They've had flamenco dancers the last few times I've gone
The coconut crepes with seafood filling is the best item on the menu!
Mussels are a must try! If you go on Thursday or Saturday, there are flamenco dancers as well
All the sangrias are delicious, but the whites are especially amazing.
Live music on Thursday and Saturday. 8:30 and 10:30.
Try : katsu , seabass , tartare , tomato dish!! Unbelievable
Great food. Live Flamenco dancers and music . Pomegranate Champaign Sangria .
Amazing modern tapas selection.
Great Food,Great Wine .. Spicy Clams my fav !!
Great deals for groups, all you can drink and eat.
Noisy , tables are so wide it's hard to talk to your friends. Food was good but nothing exceptionally amazing. Staff was friendly but owner has a micromanagement issue so he's the only to take orders?!
Everything but especially the escargot
Definitely get more sangria than you think you'll want.
The lobster Mac and cheese is awesome! $30 for bottomless mimosa, sangria, and a few other options plus an entree. The mimosas weren't strong but still worth the $30. Great atmosphere and music. - Byron Flores
Tomato tartare is delicious, but really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. - Greg MacDonald
An institution in the East Village, love their tile floor.. and their NY cheesecake! - Adrien
Try the Momofuku Ramen Noodle Bowl - One of my favorite in the city. - MoRiza
Bomb Brussels sprouts and French grilled cheese. Also deliciously strong drinks. - Theresa Roldan
