I enjoyed my dinner here very much.

We requested the outdoor table and it was very nice especially when hk is not boiling. This street is quiet compared to the main road so even if you sit outside, it’s still very relaxing.

We were sold by how good the paella smell from the table next to us so we ordered that. That was a great decision as it was very yummy although we would be even happier if the portion can be a bit more generous.

We also had the pan con tomate, a dish we always order whenever we go to Spanish restaurants. The bread is light and crispy and the seasoning of the tomato is on point.

The clams in green sauce is something we had never seen in a Spanish restaurant before so we decided to give it a try. The clam was very fresh and the sauce pairs very well with the clam. It’s refreshing and not overpowering so you can still taste the freshness of the clam. The squeeze of lemon juice gives it an extra level of depth - very yummy. Just that if we could have a few more clams, it would be perfect.

I had to highlight the sangria as it always comes with way too much ice. We forgot to tell the server to make it less icey but it came with just about the right amount of ice and you don’t feel so ripped off.

Great time here and would definitely come...
