    Great place to meet up with friends or meet the people next to you. Good college and young professional crowd. Grab a seat and order a pitcher of Sangria; t's always seasonal and always amazing.

    Cool place with great sangria and pretty good food. It's kind of case by case thing, sometimes everything is perfect- the food, the service. Other times either one lack a little. But overall its good

    Tapas are amazing although you'll need to book your tables way in advance - this place is constantly packed! They also will seat you if everyone in your party is present, otherwise you have to wait.

    Always crowded, but worth the wait. If showing up without a reservation, your best bet is to circle the bar till something opens up. Wine list - you can get half glasses of wine for half the price!

    Favorite restaurant ever! Get the spinach chickpea cazuelas and definitely the lobster fideos if they have it. 3 tapas per person is usually good. Make room for the delicious warm bread!

    If we could have ordered everything on the menu we would have. The food was exceptional. While it's hard to pick a favorite I would highly recommend the hanger steak and the seasonal sangria!

    Personal favorites are the monkfish, hanger steak, and grilled asparagus but the whole menu is fun. Save room for dessert and get the dolce de leche cookies or churros y chocolate!

    Start with the kale salad, yellowtail crudo, beet and blood orange salad with pistachios, maybe some spanish tortilla with a spicy glass of Quieto...end with Hazelnut cake with coconut ice cream.

    My fave tapas place in all of Boston. Great atmosphere and best Patatas Bravas. They're jamon serrano sandwiches are divine. Music can be loud at times for a quiet and more relaxing dinner

    Great new place! Ask the bar tenders for suggestions - they're all super knowledgeable. Irene & BJ picked out a great grenache for us. The tomato & tuna tapas was excellent as were the beef empanadas!

    Excellent food, really nice place. I really recommend deunken goat, goat cheese with sweet minastrell, good flavor combination. Musseles al diablo are pretty good as well.

    You can’t miss the jamon-buttery in the way only exceptional meat can be, but the waiters who took care of me & my aunt on her bday made us feel so special, as well as a woman I suspect was a co-owner

    Their Bloody Mary bar is different on Saturdays from Sundays- Sundays Bloodies are just a tad better, and one of the best in Boston. Definitely have to go

    With 10+ times under my belt (or in my belly, rather), definitely get these: suckling pig, lobster fideos, hanger steak, foie gras, beets salad, chorizo with fig, lamb, and spicy mussels.

    Barcelona has never let me down. Whether it’s a night out with the ladies, a dinner spot when my boss comes to town, or a date night! It’s busy every night, but for good reason❤️🍷💃🏼

    The food is absolutely fantastic and very authentic! You can't go wrong but the jamon Serrano just really hits the spot. Try the wine flight too, it's a great deal!

    Sangria is awesome- so are churros and the spicy eggplant caponata and patatas bravado are superb! In short, come here for brunch.

    Food was excellent. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. Manager didn't charge us for our drinks because we had to wait for our table to be ready after making a reservation.

    A true gem in Brookline. Sit out on the patio and order the spicy eggplant caponata and wild bass crudo. And have one or several glasses of wine.

    Amazing Tapas and drinks. Service is pretty good. A bit overpriced. Their short rib is a work of art.

    A solid stand-by. Seemingly simple, the broccolini is not to be missed, as well as the meatballs. The service, however, leaves something to be desired.
