A cute and small space that effectively captures Spanish cuisine, which might not be for everyone. Spanish food tends to be very simple, somewhat plain, but high quality and fresh and for the most part they get it right!
We stopped by for some lunch tapas and got the platter with Iberico ham, manchego, and olives. The ham was rich and salty and the olives were great, and there’s a reason why the combo is so widely appreciated. The manchego was decent but I’m pretty sure it’s the exact same manchego that I can get from Trader Joe’s so it wasn’t especially exciting. Speaking of Trader Joe’s, the baguette with fresh tomato was simple but enjoyable and again I am fairly certain they used Trader Joe’s baguettes as well. Not a bad thing, but just a case of “I think I could have had this at home”.
I also got the octopus over potatoes which was really interesting and a new combination for me. I really wasn’t expecting soft slices of potato to so effectively pair with the paprika and salt on the slices of octopus but it worked very well. It was straightforward but pleasant, like everything else. I do hate to bring this up again, but I am pretty dang sure that the octopus use is the tinned Matiz brand octopus that I can buy down the street… it all is good it just doesn’t have the same effect maybe. We couldn’t leave without getting a slice of Basque cheesecake which was excellent and a personal favorite dessert.
How much you enjoy this spot will probably depend on your attitude and expectations. If you are laid back, in no rush, and want to enjoy some simple tapas with friends while you enjoy a nice light bottle of wine (it’s BYO!), this will be a great spot (and it will remind you of Spanish dining culture). If you are expecting fast service, complex or new main courses, you might be disappointed. But we had a pleasant experience.

We came here for my husband’s birthday and a lovely time. The food was amazing and the flavors brought him back to his study abroad days in Salamanca. The chef remembered us from event they catered at reading terminal and was incredibly kind – coming out to the table and speaking to us. Our server was attentive and awesome too! Thanks for making our night so special ❤️

Found this gem on Google Maps! If you’re looking for a San Sebastian cheesecake, I highly recommend this place. The portion was generous and served with homemade jam — it tasted just like something your mom would make. I also ordered a cappuccino for $5. The cheesecake was $8, and this place is definitely worth a visit!

The food was very good. Nice vibes. I lived in Spain for a year. But Taste of Spain’s tortilla was better than any tortilla I had there. The cheese cake was amazing. And the paella had nice socarrat (crispy bottom).

Super friendly and attentive staff, and the food is delicious. A couple of items to note: 1) Not the largest place, so reservations are recommended, especially during peak meal hours, and 2) This restaurant is BYOB!! (There’s a Fine Wine & Good Spirits on Market St. a couple of blocks away.)

We recently visited Taste of Spain and were pleasantly surprised at the variety of options. Tucked away in an unassuming location on 21st in Rittenhouse they are easy to pass by but worth the visit. On this visit we had the iberico ham croquettes, seafood paella, a rice and meatball special, hot chocolate, and finished with arroz con leche.
Starting with the croquettes they are fried, creamy, and savory, a total delight.
The hot chocolate was thick, rich, and super chocolatey.
Onto the main meals, both had good flavor but were served barely warm. They were served very quickly so I’m guessing they were precooked and just kept warm. This was disappointing for both of us and a huge miss.
We finished with the arroz con leche (rice pudding)which was cinnamon with a hint of lemon, absolutely delicious.
We will definitely be back, but hoping they work the kinks out.

God, this place is so good and appropriately priced.
I am from Spain and it’s frustrating going to the other “Spanish” restaurants that are super-expensive and serve food that is nothing like the food in Spain. Finally, a Spanish restaurant that serves authentic Spanish food. It’s small and cute. The service was great and they even have a small shop where they sell some of their delicious food. The owner is right there preparing the food and it shows. We had the boquerones, which they marinate in the house and were great, the tortilla, which was amazing, the Ham croquettes. Everything was amazing, but the Basque cheese cake might be the best dessert in town.

I spotted this place when driving through. I love tapas, and I’ve lived and traveled to Spain many times. It’s a small shop with clean bathrooms as well. I liked that it displayed the menu item with pictures. I’m so happy that we decided to stop here for lunch. It’s a small dining area, but it wasn’t busy. We received first class service from the moment we walked in with our children. The dining and kitchen ares are very clean and welcoming. Each dish was fresh and delicious. The service and staff were on point. It was a PERFECT place for a light and refreshing lunch. MUCHAS GRACIAS. We loved everything we ordered and look forward to trying more. Buena suerte en tu futuro.
