    One of my favorite places in nyc because the staff are amazing & the food is authentic! The sangria and the ham & cheese croquettes are a must. And so is the Tres Leches (for dessert) for that matter.

    So many good tapas to choose from. Didn't even get to the paella. Bacon wrapped shrimp was underwhelming but the croquetas were bomb. Check in on foursquare for free sangria. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Cozy and cute with authentic tapas. A pitcher of sangria is a must when you come here.

    They have great sangria, yummy tapas but be weary of the staff because they complain that the boss is always looking for proof of check-ins. So be bold and show them!

    So the paella might not be an A+... But I'll sure be back for the sangria.

    I went here w/high expectations for flavorful Spanish faire-especially the gambas al ajillo (always a fave) - but was disappointed. Nthg on the Plato Mixto was well-seasoned, even the bread was soggy!

    Paella was good but on the saltier side, tapas were overpriced, service was slow, didn't even try the sangria. Any other competition in the neighborhood?

    the paella was very disappointing (aka the "rice a roni" of paella in NYC)

    At La Paella, get 2-for-1 pitchers of sangria for happy hour.

    It's only 2 free sangrias. And they don't tell you that until the end. Nor is it in the terms. And pitchers of sangrias aren't discounted for checking in. Bad service.

    Tapas were expensive for what you get, paella was overcooked and salty, service was mediocre but the sangria was decent.
