   The Chorizo a la Sidra is not a dish I would recommend. The sauce (braising liquid) it comes in wasn’t a good flavor. The sausage itself is cut too thinly and ends up being very dry. I couldn’t eat it. The Patatas Bravioli are rather large and not seasoned well. The sauces have a somewhat tangy flavor that I didn’t enjoy. Croquetas de Francisco was a good dish and the best thing we ate. I will say this place is higher priced but the portions reflect it. Kind of balances out. But $15 for a vodka soda in Andersonville is nuts! I never knew this place existed until it came up on an OpenTable search. I never need to go back here again.

   I was honestly not sure what to expect. Loved every minute of the experience. Great service even better food. Cant decide on what was my favorite yet. I guess I’ll have to go back. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation you will love it!

   What a treat! From the minute you walk in until you walk out the door, the experience is wonderful. Service, atmosphere and drinks are 10/10, but the food is superb. We can’t wait to be back! PS: If you aren’t sure of what to order, your server will walk you through the menu.

   Took my FIL out for his birthday to little Madrid. We had a variety of tapas. The Albondigas, Calamares fritos, patatas aliolo, euro bacon and gambas al ajillo were excellent. The croquetas de pollo was outstanding. Probably the best thing we had there. We rounded up dinner with some valenciana paella and tostas, which we had to take home since the tapas filled us up pretty well. The cafe was tightly packed and noisy, which reminded us of our vacation in Spain. A definite must go if you're craving tapas or want to enjoy Spanish food without having to buy tickets to Madrid!

    First time eating there. It was very busy on arrival. The front room is packed. But cafe feel.
