    Amazing food but it was pricey. Be prepared to spend money when you go. The service was great and we were sat immediately. Again the food OMG, delicious.

    Had to wait 30 extra minutes from our 9.15pm reservation, but they gave us 4 free desserts and a free pitcher of sangria to make up for the wait. Overall great, kind of loud, food is amazing.

    Chef Marcos and the staff were phenomenal! The service and food were spectacular, especially the authentic Valencian paella. This is the only Spanish restaurant that I will dine at from now on. Absolutely amazing!!!!! Gracias Chef Marcos por darme un poco de Valencia aquí en Chicago👏👏👏😊

    Bad experience, you can’t promote yourself as a Spanish restaurant if you sell tapas without bread, sangria without fruits and paella for two in a single pan. Neither the músic was Spanish music. Completely disappointed. Don’t go there if you are looking for real Spanish food.

    Great service. Our sever was knowledgeable and passionate about the delicious food. We ordered everything and she coursed the food. Best paella ever! Especially with the cardinal prawn option.

    The food is an insult to Spanish cuisine! It’s much better to wait for the summer and go back to Spain to have the real thing

    Located in a surprisingly hot new area. The food and drinks were spot on and the service very good. A little loud but that’s the vibe for a place like this.
