We had croquetas, pan con tomate, a selection of 5 cheeses, trigueros (green asparagus), butifarra (a sausage) and a tortilla. I'm from Portugal, been to Spain many times, even lived in Madrid for a while. On the basis of my experience, the food was actually good.

This place has jumped to the top of my favorite restaurants list. The food was unbelievable. It is a Tapas restaurant and there is not one plate we got that I didn't love. The Sangria is good and they are known for their Gin and Tonics. Definitely make this a place to hit up while in DC. More
