    Everything was great. Really recommend the short rib, probably the best we’ve ever tasted.

    If you have ever been to Spain, sometimes you might get a craving for some good Tapas or Paella. Well this is definitely a good spot for for that! The food is very authentic and there is a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Definitely good for big group dinners.

    El Raval is an experience! The food is always amazing. Our party had food allergies, vegans, and picky eaters and the chef was happy to accommodate everyone with zero complaints. We were there on Father's Day for brunch and we had a wonderful time and left stuffed and happy. Highly recommend the bravas (potatoes), the gambas (shrimp), and any of the paellas.
