Excellent food and attentive service. If you're looking for a quiet place with great food on Broadway, this should be on your short list.

I love this place especially the appetizers. The list is vast and the variety is wide. I've always had a good meal but last night was the first night I was there when it was crowded and because of the high ceilings it is very noisy. Keep that in mind. Meanwhile, the food is excellent, love having a salad and appetizers. The wine list is extensive. The service wasn't that good last night as two of our dishes never made it to the kitchen. So we had to remind the staff and they finally brought it to the table. Disappointing. Maybe it was an off night.

Ate here for lunch and it wasn’t crowded or the noise level was low. Casual atmosphere with nice staff. Food was just ok, most notably the shrimp was way way overcooked in appetizer and pasta. The kale salad was good but lacked enough dressing to moisten the large kale leaves. The octopus was tender and the empanada was flakey. I’d go back and try other things at some point but not a standout place on first visit.

Not authentic at all—I won’t be returning. While the service was actually quite good, the wine pricing was unreasonable. Starting the evening with a $60 bottle that retails for $9.99 set the wrong tone. Unfortunately, the food didn’t redeem the experience—mediocre at best and lacking any real connection to Spanish cuisine. Overall, very disappointing.

Wonderful little spot on Broadway in Burlingame. Great small plates, sangria and wine. The entree portions are generous, salads are perfect. Staff are so friendly and service is excellent. Great casual, neighborhood eatery.

Our waiter, Sinan, was absolutely amazing- very attentive, knew the menu, and professional. My husband ordered a burger and loved it. I had a hot cabbage salad which was delicious. The cheese & charcuterie was good and served with ham and carmelized onions which were yummy. The “aged Gouda” was actually smoked Gouda. I suggest they dim the lights further than they were dimmed on 16 Feb, 2025.

Hostess a little overwhelmed. We had a 6pm reservation we didn’t want outdoor. We showed like -0 minutes before 6. Very nice small boutique restaurant but had a party of over 20 people with kids that stayed way to long should have given them a limit of time and weren’t taking care of couples that were spending money we bought a bottle of $100 bottle and just sat at bar. Not my first choice. Also happened to another couple they had a 7:30 and were at bar at 8 pm waiting. Manuela saved the night and our experience.
