    Fantastic Dining Experience The food quality was excellent! The tapas selection, including the steak tips, crab cakes, scallops, and clams, was superb—each dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. While parking was initially a challenge, the extremely considerate staff quickly provided clear directions, making it a non-issue. The sangria was so good, it was almost dangerous! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch food and service.

    Casa di Paco Taberna brings a delightful blend of Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine to Newark's bustling Ironbound district. Tucked away at 73 Market Street, this family-owned establishment has become a notable destination for locals and visitors seeking authentic tapas and a warm dining atmosphere. The restaurant strikes an impressive balance between casual comfort and refined dining. The exposed brick walls and wooden beams create a rustic yet sophisticated environment, while the intimate lighting sets a perfect mood for date nights and family gatherings. The cozy space never feels cramped, and the bar area adds lively energy to the overall setting. The Casa di Paco menu showcases the best Spanish cuisine while incorporating modern touches. Standout dishes include their paella valenciana, which arrives at the table in a traditional pan, loaded with perfectly cooked seafood and saffron-infused rice. The tapas selection deserves special mention – from classic patatas bravas to innovative octopus preparations, each small plate demonstrates careful attention to tradition and presentation. House specialties worth trying: - The gambas al ajillo feature plump shrimp swimming in garlicky olive oil that begs to be soaked up with crusty bread. - Their croquetas de jamón achieve the perfect balance of crispy exterior and creamy interior - The grilled pulpo (octopus) is remarkably tender and well-seasoned. The restaurant also offers an impressive selection of Spanish wines, including several excellent Riojas and Albariños. Their sangria is particularly noteworthy – not too sweet and generously filled with fresh fruit. Casa di Paco Taberna earns 4.5 out of 5 stars. It successfully delivers an authentic Spanish dining experience while maintaining its own unique character. The combination of well-executed classics, innovative specials, and warm hospitality makes it a standout choice in Newark's competitive dining scene.

    Very nice Spainish restaurant. The greenhouse dining area was nice but heat was not felt at foot level. Food and appetizer tapas were good and made to our request. Regular drinks, lemonade and seltzer, were good but pretty expensive and we were never asked if we wanted refills. Alcoholic Spanish LIT was small but really good and strong. Servers were very nice, presentable and ready to clear off tables when we were done. Could entertain many people together if needed. Parking was nonexistent in area but thank goodness for the valet who was very nice and only $5.
