This place is fantastic. Every time I go to Tampa, I stay somewhere close so I can get lunch here. Delicious mojo pork, yellow rice and beans, plantains, etc. Just delicious.
We were there on a Friday night to have dinner and listen to the music. It was an enchanting experience. We ordered Spanish wine and tapas. Ruben was very attentive and had excellent recommendations. The music was pleasant without being overpowering. The food and wine were everything we could hope for.
Stopped by here 9.27.24 after a Hurricane Helene and they were open for business. It was a decent sized place, but there was a wedding party so half the restaurant was blocked for their use. It was fine as we were only a party of two so we sat at the bar. The bartender served us and the food was phenomenal. His service was great. I wish I remembered his name, but he was terrific. We only got a few appetizers but the croquetas were SOOO good. Empanadas - I may prefer Mr. Empanada but everyone has their preferences.
Such a great atmosphere of the food was amazing. The sangria was 10 out of 10. It's made in house and was amazing totally worth trying! And the service was fantastic!!
Having visited Spain recently, I wasn't disappointed with the tapas and main dishes! From the food to the live music, I was reminded of my trip! The waiter, Ruben, from Spain did notu disappoint! He was authentic, on point with his recommendations, and a great historian of his navitve country! A taste of Spain in Tampa Bay - what a gem!
I enjoyed visiting Spain Restaurant for lunch a few weeks ago. The restaurant servers their food cafeteria style so the food is already pre-prepared at the counter and ready to serve. I had the Chicken & Yellow Rice and it was tasty. Savory rice was mixed with tender chicken and juicy peas and red peppers. Overall, this is a good spot for a quality and quick lunch.
