Eastside Eats Review: Castilla Restaurant and Tapas Bar in Bellevue🍽️
📍 Castilla Restaurant and Tapas Bar 504 Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA 🔥 Hot Tapas (Perfect for Sharing!) 1. Grilled Octopus Leg 🐙 Tender octopus with flavorful cream base - absolutely divine! The texture was perfection. *Must-order!* ❤️🔥 2. Lamb Chops 🥩 Surprisingly refined! The meat was juicy and rich, paired with an *innovative avocado-based sauce* that elevated every bite. ❤️🔥 3. Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp 🥓🦐 Crispy bacon hugging plump, bouncy shrimp - a *textural dream*! ❤️🔥 ⚠️ *Note: Portions are small (as expected for tapas).* 🧀 Tablas (Spanish Appetizer Plates) Jamon Serrano Authentic Spanish ham from Iberian pork (rear leg). ✔️ *Rich, savory flavor* ❌ *Very salty* 😅 💡 *Pair with bread or wine to balance!* 🥘 Paellas MIXTA (Seafood + Meat) 👍 *Generous portions* of seafood and meat 👎 *INSANELY SALTY* - like "did the chef mistake the salt for flour?" level salty 🧂💀 🤔 *Server said it's a signature dish...but whyyyy?* Final Verdict: ✅ *Excellent tapas* (octopus & lamb chops stole the show!) ❌ *Skip the paella* unless you're a salt enthusiast 🍷 *Perfect spot for date night or small group dining!* #Seattle #SeattleEats #SeattleLife #SeattleWeekend #EastsideEats #BellevueFood #BellevueEats #SpanishFood #TapasLovers #FoodieReview #DateNightSpot
