Been here a few times and I wish I could give more stars to the service. I believe his name is Junior, and he's just fantastic, he makes the place! He's super nice, energetic and friendly. Really love this restaurant, music is nice and loud, really good vibes overall. And the food is great, anytime we feel like Spanish food this is always our go to. The sangria is a must.

Grocery store and Tapas shop. We love going to this LGBT+ friendly place by Porta Venezia. Aperitivos plus house wine makes for a nice early evening. If you are from España and need a touch of the home country, this is the place. Folks were singing along with the background music. Staff also speaks English.

Lovely place with Spanish atmosphere, good beer and overall amazing tapas. It is very informal and small so I suggest to book a table before. The staff is always friendly and likes to joke, which makes everything more authentic. It's always a pleasure to come back
