I came here today with my mom for the set lunch - it's a soup, two tapas dishes and a dessert for $100. Anything, besides the cold cut meats, can be chosen for the tapas dishes.The restaurant has no formal tables - it's more like a bar with many stools around the open kitchen. I quite liked this setup since the food comes to you pretty fast, and you get to watch the chef work. Gazpacho SoupThe soup was very thick and "chunky". Nice taste and very refreshing.

Gazpacho Soup
The soup was very thick and "chunky". Nice taste and very refreshing.
Bread and Olive Oil
Bread was nice and crusty; the olive oil and balsamic vinegar used was good stuff.
Octopus with Capers and Paprika (forgot the actual name, but it's the only dish with octopus in it)
Good dish! The octopus was slightly chewy after being cooked. It was a very simple dish, with virtually no seasoning besides the capers and paprika, which already provided enough taste for it.
Grilled Shrimp (also forgot the actual name!)
Served without the shell, had some garlic and other seasoning. The shrimps were cooked well. The only thing I didn't like was that there seemed to be just way too much oil with it! I do know that they use olive oil which is good for you, but there was just too much - the shrimp was drowning in it.
Braised Beef Cheek with Pear Puree and Pedro Ximenez
The beef was great; it was very tender and came apart with my fork. The pea puree and Pedro Ximenez was okay, it just seemed that it was a bit sweet for my liking. Also, I would've liked more of that horseradish sauce that came on top of the beef - it was tasty!
Crab Tortilla
There was a good amount of crab meat in here (they really don't skimp). I saw some other reviews saying that it was runny but the one that we had was really good, looked like mashed potatoes inside.
Churros & Chocolate
My favorite dish of the meal! ...But that's probably just because I love churros and chocolate and have been craving it for a while. The churros, although deep fried, weren't oily at all when they came to us. They were golden-brown and crunchy on the outside, but still nice and soft inside. The cinnamon sugar coating was already tasty enough, but with the melted chocolate that came with it? SO GOOD!
The service was also very good; the chef made all of his dishes for all customers (and even prepared for other dishes for that night) with great timing. They were served hot and cooked just right.
Overall, I really liked this place! The food was great, the portions were a good size, the dessert was fantastic and the price was at a good value, judging from how expensive the tapas usually are. I will definitely be coming back here again! (Y)
