The shrimp, cafe con leche martini, muscles, and the 1905 salad are all delicious.
Kevin RogersonAugust 7, 2014
Food was amazing - the salad made fresh at the table side must be ordered. If you go and don't get salad -DUMB

A Tampa landmark covering more than a block. Open since 1905, but now Spanish paella, ropa vieja and flan are served up nightly with live flamenco shows.
Allison PlanteMarch 28, 2012
Spanish bean soup is the best thing I've ever had! Save some bread to mop up the broth with! White sangria is a winner as well.
Robert MJune 12, 2016
Ropa vieja is a great honest dish that's better with yellow rice. Just like practically everything.
Jim AndersonAugust 20, 2012

Tapas were good, paella was not. As a spaniard the paella was a really lazy effort. It was a fun experience though.

Tortilla Española was just ok. My uncle from Spain makes a delicious version. Sopa Gallega was good and filling. Sangria was ok too. The service was pretty slow. Venue? Great.
