    Pulled up to Casa de Paco and the valet greeted us and made sure it was safe for my wife to exit on her side of the car. Inside we were promptly seated, given menus, had the menu and dining experience explained to us by our waiter Mateo, and water glasses filled and drink orders taken. The passion fruit sangria was delicious. My wife and I ordered the paella for two as well as two appetizers. The quesadilla was very good and the ribs went down real easy. The paella was outstanding and probably one of the best we’ve had in NJ. We took about half of it home (it was huge). A lovely dinner with friends and the noise level allowed us to have a conversation without having to shout at each other. Will definitely return.

    This is a small restaurant with a limited menu; I consider these positive attributes. The Spanish food is very good; the paella in particular is excellent. The main negative is that they squeeze in as many tables as possible and it can feel quite cramped.

    Fresh and tasty small plates, with responsive, friendly service. Many nice options on both the specials and regular menu. Had an early reservation before a show at the Prudential Center. Valet parking made it feasible to not worry about finding a spot in the restaurant’s neighborhood where spots were few and far between. I would definitely return to explore more of the options on the menu. For 3 people we chose 5 tapas offerings all of which were good . Yummy rolls and butter were also provided to the table. Drinks were good too. Check this place out!

    A 2.5-hour trip from PA prior to our vacation necessitated a dinner search in Newark. The recommendations I’ve read about Casa de Paco were everything we hoped for. INCREDIBLE food and drinks (their family Albariño is outstanding!), delightful and smiling employees, inexpensive and courteous valet parking, and a tight-knit dining room made for a wonderful experience! The one-star review on here? That person needs to simply find some happiness. THANK YOU for a super evening!

    A pleasant experience, with excellent food and professional attentive service valet parking is a plus would like to have seen the cold lobster on the menu for a crabmeat cocktail there was a downside I think sangria could be enhanced with more fruit

    I had a very pleasant experience last night. Table was ready, food was delicious! I asked for a recommendation of an after-dinner and he suggested a liquour they make in-house that was great (sorry I can't remember the name). I will definitely recommend it.

    We've always loved Casa d'Paco for its delish food, sangria, and welcoming atmosphere. Now they've added a lovely covered outdoor addition, which increases the enjoyment so much. It's much quieter and less crowded, compared to when the only seating was inside the main restaurant. I always have to order the patatas bravas, white sangria, and garlic shrimp, then we decide on a couple of other items. And Abuela's flan is the best I've ever tasted! Everyone who works here is welcoming and kind. This place is just a treasure--you can't go wrong!

    Exceptional service and food. Enrique was able to accommodate our special request for the table and seating we asked for when we made our reservations and we were very please upon arrival with the table that was reserved for us, with the food, service, and valet parking was a great plus. The Flamenco show was incredible and hope they keep offering live entertainment and keep that Flamenco Flavor vibe alive.

    The place was larger than I thought since the main dining room is off to the side. The service was great. Since it’s basically a tapas restaurant we dove right in. We had the tuna tartare which was great, the squid was awesome, the scallops were “meh” and the filet tapas while tasty were I thought overdone. I prefer medium rare. I had more but forgot what it was. The wine list is limited but we had the Tempranillo which is their own and that was surprisingly good. All in all it was a nice evening with good food and I would readily recommend this place and looking forward to returning.
