This restaurant is the best the paella is on point and the sangria is delish a must go to place..very family oriented service is great.

Absolutely delicious food!! Service was excellent. Atmosphere fantastic. My wife and I had the Paella which was truly the best I’ve had. We highly recommend this place.

Very beautiful restaurant. Great food, great service, friendly staff.

The food is staff is very pleasant and the food was great especially the octopus dish. Fernando could smile a little haha

It was my first time there and Eduardo was our server and he was excellent. He was on point with very timely service and made recommendations dishes that we ended up loving. I we definitely go back.

Excellent service...great meal

Nice place to eat. Has a dedicated parking, which is a plus in Newark. Octopus and chorizo were great for appetizers. I went with the 20 oz steak that didn't disappoint. Mexican coffee was a nice surprise.

Ambience is great. Small, quiet, and fancy. It has it's own parking lot and the food was amazing. They start you off with the soup of the day at the perfect temperature. We ordered the scallops and calamari in garlic sauce as the appetizer. Perfectly cooked. We ordered the paella marinera as the main course. It was so packed with sea food we couldn't finish it all. Amazing service too.

Great service and food. Nuno is the best.

The service was superb, the food was like eating in Spain. The food portions are just a little smaller than family style, just a lot of great food

Food is Amazing! Delicious

Amazing food. An impressive menu that offers many seafood choices. The service and food was way more than I would have ever expected from a restaurant in Newark. I live in NYC and this place is on par with top restaurants in NYC. The soups and sauces were heavenly. My one drawback is that the dining area is very tight and we were not able to stay for dessert because my father had to use the restroom and there is no handicap restroom available. The only restroom is located down two flights of steps that was not accessible to my father in his walker. Despite this my father would come back for the quality of food and service that was offered.

I feel this place is a little overrated. A little pricey for the dollar. Clean, service is OK. But the ambiance almost feels a little fake, cannot put my finger on it, but just a little off. Food was fair at best, and was a little expensive. Place seemed to be clean which is a plus. probably will not go back again.

I arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday alone. After looking over the dining room I decided the bar was a better place for me. I had come for the paella but the menu I was given ( lunch menu) Did not have it. No worries the host came over and recommended the langostines. They were excellent. I ordered mussels as an appetizer they were also delicious. I met 3 local guys at the bar we had a great time talking about the history of the area, and sports. I didn’t leave the restaurant until 5:30 pm. What a friendly place. I’ll be back!

We walked there from the NJPAC center and the walk was worth it. Started with a complimentary soup that was great (cabbage and onion and potato and ham) and we started with the garlic shrimp. The shrimp was very good and full of garlic and flavor. Ordered the paella Valencia and it was so delicious. Also a great deal of thanks to our waiter Eduardo. He was 100 percent correct that we should split the Ord we and just order another half lobster so my wife and I could each have a half. We are each going to order our own. Well we still have left overs from splitting the order and he also saved us money from his suggestion. The only issue was the kitchen was a little slow but we were kept up to date on when our items would arrive so no complaints from me. I highly recommend though if we go again will probably drive there as walking back at night was a little shady.
