The empanadas are delicious. I ordered a caipirinha and I was expecting a normal glass…well,this one was huge! The food had great flavors. Our reservation was at 5:30pm on a Friday. There was live music playing. The downside- It gets to louder at times and turning in to a chicken coop. There was a B-day party on the back and they were loud, it was impossible to listen to the music, let alone having a quiet conversation.
One of my go-to's.I love this place.The owner she is very nice and her husband was the cook for the prior owner.So when she and her husband bought the place the food stayed consistent.There is usually a good crowd in the evening on the weekends.At times during the week also.Their dishes are good.I love the Lamb Ragu! If you're a fan of stews, that's the dish for you.Especially on colder nights.It has carrots, potatoes,chunks of lamb and Israeli couscous.The pearl kind.A long with fresh herbs.It's very hardy.That coupled with a pint glass of the house sangria with fruit in it and focaccia bread and french baguette style bread in pieces with a dipping sauce of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh chopped garlic.Yeah just reading it makes you hungry 😁. Top it off with a nice flan for desert and you're in the promised land 😂.I recommend this place.I really don't think you'll be disappointed.And if you are...Well you can't please everyone 🤷.Go there and enjoy some great food!!! Oh yeah and in the evenings, especially on weekends they have guy who plays Spanish guitar music while you're dining.Definitely makes the atmosphere.Service people are very nice.Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do.
In a nutshell; love the pun in the name, everything else is ok.If you're looking for some classy decent cuisine this place is alright. Was a relatively busy Saturday evening rush , didn't have a reservation, but it was nice that my date and I have been able to be squeezed in.The place felt a bit small but considering that it was downtown it's not a surprise.It did feel a little warm inside but considering it was triple digit weather outside after all, it is bearable inside compared to outside.Server/s were nice and accommodating.Now the food all look great, plating is nice and all, though it didn't taste as extravagant as it had looked.Food wasn't the best but is not going to be any life changing experience if you're expecting the sort.For the price and feel and pun in the name, it was rather a little bit of a letdown.Overall it was still a decent experience to get to be inside a Spanish themed establishment and welcome others to try the place regardless. Oh and parking is a pain.Downtown sacramento parking is a pain.
