I have been here several times and have always been pleased. I always manage to just miss happy hour (generally I get there around 8pm on weekdays), so there are no crowds and the owner has always been my server. I have been with just one person and with a group and the service and quality of the food never varies. I have tried most things on the menu and all have been VERY good. Definitely try the roasted garlic... if it's not too busy he will squeeze all of the garlic out for you so you don't miss a morsel! The paella is awesome and the little chorizos are very yummy. It's a great way to try a bunch of spanish food without feeling like you are committed to an entire meal if you don't care for something. The owner loves to chat about Spain and his wife and her AMAZING cooking. I would try very hard to go on an off-peak time or get to happy hour right at 5 to ensure the best service. The culture of Spain (and most countries in Europe) view eating as an event... not to be rushed. So if you don't expect lighting service and want to enjoy a pitcher of sangria and conversation with those around you, this is a great place to go!
Pros: great way to taste a lot of foods from Spain, food is presented well and tastes great
Cons: parking... luckily my friend lives within walking distance and I park at her place.
