If you are looking for authentic tapas, this is the spot. Don't let the wait and crowd inside the restaurant fool you but it's definitely worth it.
We were seated at the bar area which was a great place because we watched how the cooks prepped everything and the servers mixed the drinks.
My mom and I shared the caprese salad, mozzarella salad, bravas, steamed mussels and beef tenderloin sandwiches. Both the salads came in generous portions as well as the steamed mussels. The sauces on the bravas were excessive so I had to dab some off the plate. The beef tenderloin sandwiches were soft and small but it was perfect because we were getting full lol
Our food took a bit of a while to come out but it's okay because it was busy and the sangria kept us content. Would def recommend coming here for more other tapas to try.

This is the new, smaller outpost of the popular Vinitus tapas bar nearby.
The menu is similar though the feel is more casual. I tried both spots during my trip and preferred this one for the better execution of simple ingredients and freshness. We walked in and sat at the bar in front of the impressive display of fresh seafood.
Pan Con Tomate - Meant to be generously doused with olive oil, the other Vinitus took it a little too far, while this had a more balanced amount of oil.
Tortilla - Much softer and fluffier here, with a better ratio of cheese.
Gambas al Ajillo - Pretty standard at both spots, but I've honestly had better in the US.
Langoustine - This came with a sticky glaze on the tail. The meat was tender.
Pimientos de padron - Simple, well seasoned with flake salt.
Calamares a la romana - If only all fried calamari were this fresh! Very soft squid, not rubbery at all. Batter was lightly crunchy and not greasy.
Tiny Clams - Simple preparation with little if any seasoning.
Sangria - Red wine base, not too sweet, with citrus. Be careful, goes down like juice!
Our server spoke English and was nice, though he tried to upsell a bit.
Overall, a solid spot for traditional tapas and fresh seafood!
We were looking for a late night bite and literally stumbled across this place. At first the waitress seemed annoyed because after all they were closing in 40 minutes or so.we wouldn't usually go to a restaurant so near their closing time, but we had a long day wandering the streets of Barcelona and were HUNGRY. We sat down and ordered some tapas and were promptly served our items. We have been here for 4 days thus far and we have yet to return to any other restaurants but this one we may have to visit again. Highly recommend the prawns with squid, the anchovies with olives and peppers, and the peppers with tuna belly.
Made sure to add extra for accommodating us at the last minute and serving crazy Americans amaze-balls food at 12:15 am.
