It was a hard choice considering the various options within the immediate vicinity. I had the tostada salad, and although it was plentiful, it was lacking in flavor (bland). The margaritas were decent. The tables were small and felt very cramped. The service was basic, and prices were reasonable. I didn't feel it was worth the wait though.

The very nice exterior drew me in one day. I just went for the 2nd time. Both times I've been impressed. There is parking. The service is magnificent, very friendly, courteous, attentive and funny. We had a very flavorful salad and mussels. The prices are reasonable. For a moment I considered keeping this place my little secret, but then I decided it isn't fair to you or the restaurant, so please enjoy!

I can't tell how "authentic" the tapas are, I can tell whether they are good or not. The spicy potatoes where good, the garlic shrimp dish was too small and very garlic-ky, the fried calamari again small and somewhat flavor-less (even the dipping sauce), and the spinach was just ok. The sangria was pretty good. The atmosphere, although a bit noisy, it is lively and colorful. Nice location. Service was a bit lacking, but expected as prices are reasonable, and they did "ask us to leave", however, we had finished and paid about an hour earlier and they were busy, but it still didn't feel good. Overall positive.
