Killer bocadillos (Spanish sandwich ) and MVP value play at $9. The Picante is a beast. Eat all the chorizo samples at the front while you wait. They won't stop you. Trust.

Best Spanish Restaurants in NYC: You simply can't go wrong with their tapas or bocadillos here. Try their jamon serrano , amazing. Great spot for lunches ! Read more

Mike Dudas

Everything here is wonderful, from be meats to cheeses to Spanish provisions. The chorizo is to die for. And do not leave the premises without ordering a sandwich -- the meats, cheeses & bread are A+.

Andrew Hogue

Pro tip: if you get your sandwich to go, ask for some olive oil to go with it.

Mads Marz

The sandwiches are good but a little plain. I got the gallego(ham and cheese ) wish I would have asked for aioli , tomatoes and peppers . There are a bunch of sample chorizos to try while you wait!

Wesley Turner-Harris

Great shop featuring Spanish products on import, normally can't find at the local groceries . Also good restaurant and Cafe for the locals. Personal favorite is the Estella Damm from Barcelona.

Ahn Bustamante

Great cold cuts and sandwiches . From the outside it just looks like a store but once you get in, they have tables so you can eat and enjoy a meal. They also have a good wine list.Try the red sangria .

BrooklynBoyO

A NYC hot-spot for all things sourcing from Spain. Enjoy tapas , sangria and imported brews in the back dining space. Go home with treats galore, Spanish wine next door...

Victoria U.

The Picante Bocadillo is delicious and super authentic (or as close as you can get to it). They also sell Spanish import and great Spanish wines (next door).

AmateurConcierge

Awesome Spanish grocer with great cheese , jamon and specialty grocery selection. Plus u can learn to cut meat from a master jamon slicer!

Cole Kennedy

I'll echo everyone else: get the picante bocadillo (a pressed Spanish sandwich ). The chorizo is so good, as is the spicy aioli .

Roger R

Amazing place to buy imported foods from Spain. Great store and the tapas restaurant in the back is just like Spain!! The Crema Catalana is legit, and the tortilla de Batata is a must!

DoubleDeuce

Everything is of/from Spain. Taste new foods, buy something prepared and eat it in the back seating area. Color and character astound here. No corking fee if you buy a bottle of wine next door too!

Maximiliano

Amazing pintxos and bocadillos . Among the pintxos , our favorites are bacalao and octopus . The bocadillos with tuna , tomato and red bell peppers is an unforgettable and addictive experience

Jack Osborne

Everyone is saying get the picante but there is also a sandwich NAMED AFTER THE STORE. I'll let you decide which one you get... but, to repeat, they have a sandwich named after the store.

Ernesto Gutierrez

Crear place for a quick bite or a light meal. Try the picante or despaña (ask for manchego slice instead of the spread). The red sangria is also good.

Ashley Chan

You'll feel like you stepped into Spain when you come here. Casual place to get some tapas ; there is seating at the back! Must get the croquettes - they melt in your mouth.

Elizabeth Burstein

Vegetarian sandwich and gazpacho soup are bomb. Nice hidden gem for quick food in soho. Would be curious to return and try some of their exotic Spanish hams etc

AFAR Media

The store is part wine shop and part market , with a Cafe in the back. You can find all types of sweets and snacks from all different regions in Spain. Read more

try a free sample of these tiny eels

John L

If you are looking for Spanish provisions (jamon , chorizo , canned preserves) you came to the right place. Great selection but would say the real highlight is their wine shop located next door.

Serious Eats

Excellent one-stop shop for Spanish specialty ingredients: cured meat , cheese , oils, and more. We dig the sandwiches , too.

Cooper Smith

The Picante Bocadillo is incredible - Chorizo sausage , mahon cheese , spicy peppers , tomatoes , and alioli. While you wait, go splittsies on the chorizo with chestnuts

Nate Beatty

A great Spanish market that makes delicious sandwiches . Come for lunch and grab a bottle of olive oil or a wedge of beautiful Spanish cheese while you're here.

Richard Revilla

I absolutely love this place. It's like being in Spain. Sot back order some food and indulge in great conversation

Jeff Woo

I've been here 5 times & have tried 10 items. LOVED: 1) Despana Sandwich (Bocadillo ) 2) Pintxo Boquerones (White Anchovies ). FAILED: Serrano Tortilla . See Top 10 dishes on Foodmento: Read more

Tiffany Chang

The chorizo was delicious!!! Also, the wine store next door is owned by the same people, so you can buy a bottle and bring it into Despaña to enjoy with your tapas with no additional fee!

Ina Li

Have a warm sandwich with charcuterie and cheese , go to the wine tasting events , and get some groceries for your Spanish home cooking

Christine L

I can spend all day here with their free samples . Loved the Despaña bocadillo and a glass of Mibal (or just any Ribera del Duero wine )!

Geoffroy Bablon

The tortilla sandwich is one of the better (and tastier) deals you can find on a sandwich this part of town . Try the flan and horchata to round out an amazing lunch !

Bokyung Park

It’s a Market & Cafe and the food is straight from Spain.Great tapas and large selection of sandwiches (bocadillos ).

Stefano Guidolin

The picante bocadillo is a must here. Don't forget to do some shopping too if you have time, great Spanish product!!

David Zhang

Great subs , definitely recommend the Chorizo and the free samples laying around

Michelle Cheung

Love this place. A best kept secret. I usually get the morcilla and tortilla pintxos . Sangria is made with drinkable (and not bottom of the barrel) wine .

Leon Rossi

Great selection of imported Spanish food along with some quality stateside produced goods. Grab a bottle next door and they'll open it for you at the restaurant

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

LOVE this place. The most amazing sandwiches . Such a sweet spot. I will be back for sure.

Matthew Huie

The chorizo bocadillo is on point. Fill up on samples while you wait for your sandwich !

Alex Hennessey

The place to go for Spanish delicacies. Thin sliced, cured chorizo is the way to go. So many choices....

George Costa

The tortilla is as good as my Moms. Great selection of cured meats and the pantry goods are top quality.

Indulgent Eats

Amazing bocadillos like the namesake Despaña. Grab a bottle of wine next door then have the staff here pick out the perfect cheese pairing. Best part: samples!

Gary Mu

Meat and cheese plate is amazing and good value

Giulia Prati

The gazpacho was creamy and delicious. Pro tip: add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to your sandwich and dip the sandwhich in the gazpacho ! Mmmm! ????

Meg McNamara

A taste of Spain. Enjoyed a wonderful lunch . Great sandwich and wonderful cheese samples.

Fiona

Love their pinxtos, tortillas , and well-appointed communal dining area. My go-to for jamón and chorizo . Wine shop next door is lovely too!

Dev Anand

Tortilla Bocadillo dipped into EVOO/black pepper mix is the move to make. Ask them to hook it up with some samples of that acorn fed jamón and ride the flavor wave.

Catherine Thompson

Great bocadillos ! Also a small but delicious selection of wines by the glass. Perfect for lunch or an early dinner

????????Ardus ????

Went there for lunch on a Friday and loved everything. Went back the next day for dinner . We were rushed as they were closing soon; we asked for a “best of” and got punished with a «worst of». #Uncool

Omer Zach

Most people go for the sandwiches but you can get 2 or 3 great tapas plates/boxes for the same price.

Robert Stewart

Make sure to sample all the meets & cheeses when you first walk in. Actually, order your sandwich first, then munch on the free samples while you wait.

Kira Rocha

Great atmosphere, simple tapas selection but expensive . We had anchoives sandwich , codfish croquettes . They sell some groceries and wine too
