Esteagon is one of our favorite Spanish restaurants in the USA. The tapas are always excellent. This time we had Jamon ibérico, Tortilla española, Gambas al ajillo, Grilled octopus, and Oxtail. For dessert we ordered a delicious Tarta de queso with berries. Out waiter did an outstanding job.

Dali is a small family-run place. It is just a hidden gem in Sommerville. The food and service were outstanding, we could not have a better celebration of our 2 birthdays. We return to Dali every time we have a chance. Lovely place and very affordable.

Everything we had was very good. I was disappointed that they were out of croquetas the night we went. Almost seems wrong to go to Spanish tapas without them.
