Ordered 2 tapas (chorizos and 3x empanadas), and 2 entres stuffed shrimp and octopus paella. All of it was cooked excellently. Very tasty and plenty of portions. Atmosphere was pleasant and service was polite.
Prices are little up there but what do you expect from what I just said. Very much a recommended experience.

We were in the mood to celebrate, but it was a bit late so we ended up here. The place looked pretty, bright, and cozy, so we decided to stay. It wasn’t that busy at all, so we got lots of attention and we loved that.
We received the menus, and I must say that the amount of menus, and items on each menu was extremely overwhelming. There was not a clear theme on the food items as there were Mexican, Spanish and Brazilian items. (I guess they want to attract all population in the surrounding area). The amount of things in the menu is so problematic that it took a while for the waiter to find the items in his tablet as we were placing the order.
In terms of food quality, The nachos were alright, I think they should use shredded meat instead of ground beef because ground beef makes it look and taste cheap. The quesadilla was pretty tasty as well as the stuffed chicken with shrimp. The food in general was pretty good and fresh and the drinks were great. I hope I can come back soon to try some other things in their extensive list of items.

We happened upon Vivo on our way to a dinner nearby. We sat outside. They had speakers playing the music from the bar/club inside. The server was friendly. The majority of their outside tables were full. My burger was pretty good and cooked as my request. The only issue with my meal was the random one raw french frie. My wife and daughter enjoyed their meals. They due add 18% gratuity to the check.

Nice place with fresh delicious food. I would recommend you paellas and octopus. It takes some time to cook, but the waiting is worth it.
Around holiday time wasn’t crowded, just quiet and cozy atmosphere with attentive stuff.
They have hookah as well.

I should’ve been to this place much sooner. The food, atmosphere, service and entertainment earned this place the 5 .
The was beyond delicious, truly had the scallops melting in your mouth. The chorizo were cooked to perfection & very tasty. Oh, and what else can I say about the fried calamari – one plate was not enough.
Chase it all down with a delicious mango mojito or a very tasty expresso martini. Whatever you drink is up to you, but these 2 were on my favorite list.
Onwards to dessert- Tres Leches with fruit, now that was a new twist. It was fresh and not too sweet but creamy and delicious. The Creme Catalana was extremely creamy and very tasty.
To top it off the evening did not end at dinner. We had the privileged of the Live Event – featuring Legendary Noel and I must say… that is true entertainment.
Highly recommend this place, especially now during the summer for Saturday Freestyle evenings. Check out their website.

I visited on a Friday afternoon 9/2/22 around 5 PM. The outside area had one more table being serviced and the inside was nearly empty. The outside dining space and the music was pretty cool and laid back. The drinks are okay and the food is tasty. I ordered several tapas which were all good I size, presentation and flavor.
The only thing is that I was rushed to order and that always is such a turn off and a huge buzz kill for a foodie like myself. If you k ow you know.
The lady who attended me seemed to have a very hyperactive personality and did not seem to read human interaction very well. She kept asking if we were ready to order immediately after handing Over the menus and repeated herself several times, just minutes apart each time after that. It was my first time there and I wanted to look at my options before ordering.
I’m sure those who work there and those who are regulars there know exactly who I’m talking about. She’s nice but she needs to relax a little. Other than that all was well but it won’t be a place I visit regularly like all my other favorite cool newark spots because of the rush rush factor. Nope.

Good food. Good service. Nobody rushed us.
There were two other tables being served at the time I was there. Gabriel was our sever.
Very kind, friendly and attentive.

Firs time there in March of 2022. I’ve been dining in the iron bound for decades but normally go to the same 3 restaurants. A friend suggested to try tapas and I’m glad I did. Instead of getting 1 dish we ordered 4 and shared. The food was amazing and the staff was friendly.
Only took 2 photos mid way in but it all looked and tasted great.

I finally visited this restaurant. I have had my eye on this place for a while. I live in the neighborhood where this establishment resides. I came on a weekday. While the service was decent and attentive, I have to say the food is just ok and the drinks are weak and overpriced. I have to add that I have had take out here before and the Sangria was strong and good as well as the Paella. Which is why I was surprised at the lack luster of the drinks and food when I sat down to dine.
The oxtails are decent. They should be cooked longer so that they can be a bit more tender but they are flavorful. We ordered crab stuffed mushrooms. All I can say is they were aweful. They put some raspberry like sauce on top which was absolutely horrible.
Needless to say I would not go back. My rating is more 2.5 but I would say it goes to the service during my dine in experience.

I enjoyed everything besides the lamb tapas appetizers. It was tasteless and very chewy. Everything else was very good. The salmon is delicious and fresh. Andres our server was very accommodating!
