seee i came here for a school trip, but it turned out well. Because i was told by people who went last year that the food was horrible, buttttt when i sat down and ate, i really enjoyed it. Especially the chocolate churros and the fruit juice. 10/10 would come again.
A truly exceptional place! Very colorful atmosphere. It feels like you’re not in Delaware anymore when you step in here. Great food. HIGHLY recommend.
The food was absolutely incredible, the drinks were even better. But the best part about my visit with my wife was Scott and his service. I’m already thinking about my next visit. Scott was fun, upbeat, honest and kept my wife and I entertained the entire time. Cannot wait to come back
What a hidden gem (to us) not only was the experience a good one the food was absolutely delicious & the sangria, one of the best I've had. We came in about an hour before closing and at no point did we feel rushed. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was fresh, delicious and the portion could easy feed 4 people. Highly recommend!
I’ve travelled all over Europe (as recently as the past few months) and this is the best meal I’ve had in ages. Not only authentic, but frankly *exquisite* food. I live 90 minutes away, but I’ll definitely be coming back.
Definitely worth the trip! Our waiter Nacho was absolutely fantastic. He was very mindful and checked up on us constantly. Very wonderful experience!
Get the España experience right here in DE. Delicious Tapas, decadent Paella (make sure to order the seafood option, anything else and you’re just missing out), exquisite selection of Spanish wines, and of course the pièce de résistance was the traditional Basque Cheesecake !!! Service is hit or miss but live music Saturdays makes it all worth it.
One of my most favorite places to dine when visiting Delaware! Almost a stones throw from UDel, this place offers amazing and authentic Spanish tapas! The atmosphere is chill and conformable and the service is superb! Hint: 1/2 price tapas if you sit at the bar from 4-7pm. Talk with Scott! He’ll make you feel at home and make recommendations that can’t be beat! The sangria is awesome!
