Spanish🇪🇸🌶

48 month aged Iberico ham was everything it lived up to be. Savory, fatty, melt in your mouth, I could easily finish a portion of this on my own. TIP: order the bread with tomatoes and have this together with the crispy bread, fresh and slightly acidic tomatoes and it’s enough to make you happy.

This paella was very flavorful but a little bit towards the salty spectrum of food and could do with a little less seasoning. The rice was really nicely cooked to an al dente texture but I was left yearning for more of the soccarat (the burnt bits at the bottom) which it didn’t have much of. The pork was tender but the mushrooms seemed to get lost in all the flavor of the paella.

This half suckling pig costs $140 and is served tableside, but order it earlier in your meal as it takes awhile to prepare. The server cut the pig up using a plate as it was very tender and didn’t need a knife but it seemed a little unnecessary to do that. The meat was super flavorful and had a good meat/fat ratio. Would’ve liked the skin to be crispier though as it didn’t have a super satisfying crack when biting into it.

Their churros are maybe one of the crunchiest I’ve ever had??? dusted in the classic cinnamon sugar coating accompanied with dulce de leche, chocolate sauce and tiramisu foam. My favorite was the tiramisu foam actually as the mixture of coffee and cocoa had a slight bitterness which helped to counteract the sweetness from sugar. The texture was abit too crunchy for my liking I feel and would prefer if there was more fluffiness for the interior.

The octopus was well prepared, tender yet still retaining a slightly bouncy texture when you bite into it. The accompanying sauce is addictive too and I highly recommend ordering a basket of bread to mop up the sauce. Remember to squeeze the lemon which rly lifted the dish and added a citrusy brightness. The only thing that confused me was the potato wedges which seemed out of place??? Give us BREAD INSTEAD!!

Their version of the traditional Spanish paella comes in 2 serving sizes, the individual and the sharing portion which is good for 2-3 people. The seafood is super generous and fresh which makes the $26 worth it and the green peas add a snap of freshness. The rice was well seasoned and flavorful but I think I still prefer the traditional versions?? The missing soccarat was abit of a dealbreaker for me. There’s also a meat version which comes with chorizo/chicken instead.
