    Wonderful food, wine and show. The paella was pretty authentic and delicious. We were there for a flamenco show which was beautiful and we appreciated that they took a few breaks and played some soft guitar so that we could still enjoy our dinner and conversation too. All around a great place!

    Food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Service was very slow. Issues with our order. The best part of the place is the guitar and flamenco dancing.

    Super overpriced tapas,the portions are very small,service was ok,they bring you everything all together-cold and hot tapas at the same time.The show wasn’t that great either,they took more breaks than the time they spent performing.Overall super expensive experience for not so great food and entertainment.

    Very small portions for tapas and way over priced for mediocre food. Our waiter wasn’t friendly at all.

    This place is beautiful and located perfectly in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The building and the greenery really compliments the Spanish vibe. But in the middle of all this beauty those menus stick out like a sore thumb poorly printed and cut out and for having a full bar they don’t even have a drink menu or any specialty cocktails .  at first glance the prices are reasonable until you find out that Tapas means very small portions. if I’m gonna pay more than $15 for four spoonfuls of potatoes, at least give me some options to pair my meal with a nice drink.  Overall the place was great. I’m just thinking that the building is so beautiful, I would try to match  the ambience a little better maybe throw some candles on the tables and spend the extra money for some nice menus literally that’s all it needs for it to be like a five star style restaurant
