Mazda: Bar with amazing tapas. The #1 tapas plate is the grilled corn. Sounds simple, but it's quite the opposite!
Rita Lara: Duck tapas was to die for. Tuna tatare also very good. Maiz, duck and empanadas were best value.
Eric Andersen: Favorite tapas here: almendras marcona (Spanish almonds), maíz asado con alioli (Grilled corn), pimientos del padron (peppers), garlic shrimp

Boston Phoenix: Bold, authentic tapas served in a romantic atmosphere that's perfect for dates. Try the fried chickpeas, the littleneck clams, and the classic tortilla. Read more.
Amanda: Even after having tapas in Spain, this place is still one of the best, IMO. The salt cod fritters and fried artichokes are heavenly!
Allie Martini: Delicious AUTHENTIC Spanish tapas. Worth the cab ride. Try the pringa- beef shank, pork belly, bone marrow on toast- sounds gross but it's incredible!
Leonard: Good atmosphere Most foods are very good Service can be slow so plan lots of time. Suggest 3 tapas per person.Go around 8:45p and the evening crush dies down but still full and lively
Enrico S: Great tapas food, 5/6 dishes make a meal for two. Good sangria (maybe a tad weak).
Melissa Crawford: Great tapas, awesome atmosphere, extremely reasonable prices. We went with 5 girls and ate until we could no longer fit anything else in. Plus 2 bottles of wine and it was under $200 including tip!
