| - I don't understand the good reviews of this place. The food was honestly ... Kind of bad. Not sure if I went on an off day, but one of the dishes my friend and I ordered (this ball of meat with cheese filling) just tasted and smelled gross, with an overpowering blue cheese flavour. And I usually like blue cheese! But it was inedible. All the other plates we got were so mediocre and bland I actually can't remember what they were... I think we had stuffed peppers? I do remember they were out of octopus so everyone ranting and raving about that may be on to something. If that's their house specialty I definitely didn't get to try it, and what I did try definitely didn't invoke flavours of Spain. The sangria was okay, and service was fine, but couldn't make up for the bad food. Personally I found the decor cheesy and the lighting uncomfortable, so thumbs down from me for those aspects as well.
Finally, this place has its faults and I would n't recommend eating there, but before you complain about the portion sizes, remember that this is technically a tapas place. The plates were definitely shareable... I just wouldn't want to, because well, see above.
EDIT: The owner of this restaurant initially commented on my review with a condescending and passive aggressive comment (which they now edited to seem less abrasive I guess) accusing me of making a false review, or that I must be some idiot reviewing the wrong restaurant. I googled the restaurant and interiors, and yes, it is the right restaurant. I stand by my review with the following clarifications: my review is only about my personal experience with what I ordered. I also ordered off the Taste of Market Street menu in Spring 2015, but got around to reviewing it later than I hoped, which may be the source of confusion, but that doesn't excuse rudeness. Next, I didn't say it was a "meat ball", I guess it was a croquette (not sure what the shell was) stuffed with meat and blue cheese, and that everything else I ordered was literally forgettable. The owner is claiming that they do not serve what I described and that my subjective opinion of their decor (which I found garish and gimmicky) and the food I personally tried is wrong. I even mentioned that I did not get to try their specialty item --octopus-- and that I didn't get to try their full menu, and was giving them the benefit of a doubt, but after learning how rude the owner of this place is, I'm tempted to give this place one star. Never going back.
