Frommer's Review

Located next door to one of my favorite bakeries, this Spanish restaurant specializes in Spanish-style tapas (small plates) but also serves a few different types of paella. Still, I can't ever get past all the flavor-packed little tapas dishes. The best way to approach this rather exotic menu is to just start ordering whatever sounds most interesting and then order more if your first round doesn't fill you up. You can also opt for large orders of all the tapas on the menu. Let me warn you, though, that the tapas menu is heavy on proteins and starches and a bit light on veggies. Oh well, you can always have a salad tomorrow.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
