This tapas restaurant by way of Chicago offers ? priced Sangria and an assortment of $3 appetizers in the bar area on weekdays from 4-7PM. Our waitress also served as bartender so service tended to be on the slow side. We started off with a carafe of red sangria (fair, $10) and a chicken empanada (good, $3) served with what tasted like mustard spiked mayonnaise. Our next round included a tiny portion of seafood salad (fair, $3) and a large portion of spicy potatoes with tomato aioli (good, $3). Meanwhile we kept working on the Sangria while enjoying the bar scene. It was at this point that we decided we were not going to be in the mood for a full meal so we asked the waitress/bartender if we could use our $25 Restaurant certificate for the Sangria and appetizers. Not a problem said my now much more likeable waitress. As the bewitching hour of 7PM approached we quickly requested the Serrano ham and tomato bread tapas. (poor, $3) I did a quick calculation and determined we were going to have a difficult time reaching the $35 minimum required for use of the Restaurant certificate so we ordered the goat cheese baked in tomato sauce tapas (Excellent, $7). We were now satiated and ready to quit, but we ordered 2 mini desserts, coconut bread pudding with sorbet and a truffle chocolate cake (good, $4) which were very much underzized. Based on my updated calculations we were still nominally short of the requirement, but I asked the waitress for the bill wow 14 cents to the good.
Pros: Low price with use of $25 Restaurant certificate, good selection of tapas, happy hour pricing
Cons: Mediocre Sangria and $3 tapas
