“ The food was great, though very expensive, but that was expected. The atmosphere is fantastic and you do feel the Spanish theme of the restaurant present in the food, music (which sometimes is live), and decoration. The area is very nice. Excellent for a celebration. ”
“ We had a reservation on the patio after walking the canal convergence. The location, live music, atmosphere, food, service, vino, all were wonderful. This may be my favorite Spanish restaurant in the valley. It was authentic as it was charming. They offer a rather nice filet as well, with an amazing blue cheese spread. Jamie was rather busy but took great care of us. ”
“ I really think there should be more tapas spots. I love to taste everything, and sharing tapas is such a great date night or friend night out. We were a party of eight and chose the special "taste of spain" menu for 54 per person. It included the six most popular tapas and the amazing seafood paella. (See photo of descriptions). Every bite was amazing and unique. We all enjoyed talking about the flavors and our favorites. We didn't have room for dessert, but we finished the night with a digestif. Licor 43 is a golden drink made of secret ingredients only known to the Zamora family. It was a nice and interesting end to the meal. To make it even more special, you are entertained with lovely singing, guitar playing, and Flamenco dancing. The interior of the restaurant is colorful and bright with string lights. It is a lively and louder environment. The patio is romantic with lights above and the canal running alongside. I'm not the one to ask, but from what I read in reviews, this is considered a very authentic Spanish restaurant. I can promise you it was beautiful, delicious and fun! ”
“ What a lovely place! If you’re a fan of tapas it is a top tier ambiance and the food was 10/10! To make it even better our server Braulio was so attentive and on top of everything. He checked in constantly and made the most amazing recommendations to follow the dishes we chose. Very pleasant experience! When we’re back in Scottsdale we will be coming here! ”
“ My boyfriend and I visited this location last weekend and everything was amazing! The food was flavorful and delicious, our service was great and the flamenco dancing was such great entertainment. The owner was so welcoming and sweet. A great place for a date night or night out with friends or family. We’ll be back ”
“ Good restaurant for family occassions such as birthdays, graduations, etc. Kids friendly, they have menu for kids and high chairs. Can be so crowded in the peak hours like dinner time. Flamingo dance and music are pretty much entertaining if you are into classic kind of entertainments. ”
“ First time here and i enjoyed the tapas. Reminded me of tapas I got in Barcelona. Restaurant has a large outdoor dining area and the staff was pleasant. We ordered the 59 per person tasting menu that allows you to taste a lot of different tapas. I loved all of them except for the paella. My friend liked the paella but I found it too "fishy". That said, I've never really been a paella fan and next time I will just stick with the tapas. ”
“ We saw this place two years ago when we were at Canal Convergence, so this year we made a plan to try it. It was phenomenal. Our server was so friendly, informative and attentive. We decided to do the Mediterranean special and it did not disappoint. We especially loved the bacon wrapped dates and the crab stuffed peppers. The paella was delicious, just would have liked the lobster tail to be a little less dry. The desert looked like something from Chopped, puff pastry with roasted apples. Definitely a place to try again in the future. ”
