Popped in during Friday night rush and were very impressed with the food and service. Could not believe the attentiveness (without being overly so) during such a busy time. Food was EXCELLENT (lobster paella and sangria). Will definitely visit again when in town.

When I lived in New York City, El Quijote was one of the regular places that I went for dinner. Now that I live in Houston, I make it a point to dine here whenever I am in town. I got my chance last week! Nothing has changed about this place since I first ate here in the early 1980s....

Have been coming to this restaurant for many years. I think the other night hit its peak of awesomeness. I usually get the Lobster and green sauce, and the other night it was more spectacular than others.

the pulpo wasn't too good.

My husband and I stumbled upon this by chance and it turned out to be one of the best nights we had in NY. We ordered a half pitcher of margarita (about $34 ) which went down very easily. However it packed quite a punch and I was quite tiddly for 2 hours or more!Met a lovely NY couple at...

Great food, tho the portions were huge and share-able, which we wish we'd known.
