Had always wanted to try this restaurant...love true Spanish/Portuguese food. The good:
* Decent atmosphere
* Clams in greens sauce were decent, not amazing but, cooked nicely.
* Sangria was very good. not too sweet
The not so good:
* The "filet" and shrimp tapas was awful. Tasted like very cheap quality meat and shrimp. Steak way overcooked too, very tough. After this, we did not even want to order anything else.
* No octopus. How does this place not have octopus, especially after the waiter told me how great it was?
The bad:
* Two waiters arguing so loud by the bar (cussing each other) that the entire restaurant could hear. This went on for at least 60 seconds until someone told them to stop.
* One of these waiters was ours and while he had a very outgoing personality, it was borderline aggressive and not a great experience.
Overall, not impressed, probably would not go back. I will definitely make the trek to Sangria Y Tapas in Westlake (I believe the owners used to work at Mallorca) for this cuisine in the future. They do it right and the are very friendly.
We ended up going to Santorini (next door) for the rest of our meal and it was great!
