Located across the street from the Courtyard Marriott on Julia Street. Having been in NOLA for a few days it was a relief to have a menu that wasn't deep fried everything!! Fresh ceviche, amazing tender beef empanadas, tender pork lechon, good salads, delicious drum fish and great deserts - grand marnier and brandy in a heated snifter, chocolate martinis... More

Civeche and Spanish cheeses made a nice starter for the table with a good range of texture and heat. Mostly Seafood tapas and entrees were well prepared and had a nice range of flavor. Strawberry salad and bisque were solid. Interesting cocktails and a good wine list. Nice place for a date or dinner with friends.

The place is owned by an Argentinian, but the food and wine is mostly Spanish. Itje samgria was so good i had a second one. The safron rice had a generous amount of jumbo sized shrip. Spicy but good . Will defenitely come back

The main course, fish, had an exquisite mixture of tastes. Together with an intro drink and a brazilian beer it was an excellent meal.

Sat at the bar, ordered several of their ceviche selections, drank some great wine. This is a wonderful Spanish/Latin restaurant in the warehouse district. Walking by, the looks may fool you, but go in for a treat. Not the usual Bourbon Street crowd, and the service is excellent.

Great Spanish Cuisine. Fresh catch of the day. The server knew her menu very well and the ambience was great. The restaurant is located in the warehouse district, quiet and not stinky like the French Quarter.

We were just going for a snack lunch, but ended up eating too much and got back to our meeting too late. We did not care! The food was amazing and there is no excuse not to go there. The lunch was perfect served as tapas, so we got to try many of their dishes and even tried some of... More
