| - I went to V Picasso as part of a very large group. We ordered a ton of the tapas and it was wonderful since I got to sample nearly everything on the tapas menu!
My favorites: (1) Zucchini Tostas - I especially liked whatever spread they had on the bread, flavorful and light! (2) Gambas al Mole - grilled shrimp, pretty spicy, great flavor with a nice side of sauces (3) Patatas Bravas - Yummy spicy home fries, great sized portion too (4) Asparagus - They wrapped individual stalks in prosciutto, wonderful combination of flavors. A bit salty if you're not used to prosciutto, but I loved it. (5) Sweet Potato Fries - Excellent! The dipping sauce is surprisingly sweet and goes really well with the light fries. (6) Sangria - I didn't have any, but everyone around me gave it rave reviews.
Less than favorite: (1) Pollo Ajillo - the potato chips were great, and the chicken was pretty garlicky but lacked other flavor. This might be because I was eating it with other more spicy foods. However, excellent value at $5 (2) Empanadas - A bit greasy for my taste. The other fried dishes I tried were much lighter. (3) Carrot Cake - More dense than I would have like, but good flavor.
I would definitely recommend trying this place out, especially with a larger group so that you can sample more of the fare. The tapas are definitely sized for sharing, it seems they readjusted their portions after getting some negative reviews for too small plates. For the most part, I thought the prices were very reasonable, too.
