| - Barcelona Tapas is located inside the Artisan Hotel. If you do decide to come here there is no public parking, it is valet only. This place wasn't terrible but I wasn't wowed either. Service was nice enough. We came in around 11:30 am and besides one other patron, we were the only ones there the entire time we ate. Our group was a party of three and we ordered 6 tapas (small plates) and still left feeling hungry.
We ordered:
-White Sangria (free with Yelp check in) - Really light and refreshing. Compared to other sangrias I've had not much fruit mixed in with the drink though.
-Tacos al pastor ($6.99) - Smaller street tacos style, the pork was seasoned really well and the sauce on top had a nice kick to it. The pork was a tad dry.
-Pan Fried Dates ($6.99) - Bacon wrapped dates with blue cheese, tasty and one of my favorite dishes out of the bunch we ordered.
-Patatas Bravas ($7.99) - Potatoes with aioli sauce on top, we found this dish extremely salty.
-Barcelona Salad ($10.99) - Light salad with a light dressing, nothing terrible, nothing memorable.
-Surf & Turf ($13.99) - Bacon wrapped filet mignon and shrimp on top of mashed potatoes. Tasty but the dish came with a small amount of filet mignon and only one or two shrimp.
-Zarzuela de Mariscos ($23.99) - Seafood dish with shrimp, calamari, mussels, clams, some type of fish, and rice drizzled in a sauce. Out of all the dishes we enjoyed this the most and the sauce wasn't too heavy either.
Overall, I don't see myself coming back here. If you do decide to come here I would recommend not to come here with a massive appetite. This place is probably better suited if you're only going to get drinks and a dish or two to snack on.
