As a party of 8, we tried numerous dishes and found them all to be excellent albeit some what small for sharing. Patatas Bravas, calamari, croquetas, and Basque cheesecake were amazing. Nice atmosphere, comfortable seating and wonderfully friendly and efficient staff. Manager, Alex, stopped by and is a great conversationist. My wife is from Spain and we visit there every year and really enjoyed this dining experience.More infoKalimotxo$$$$• Tapas / Small Plates• East Austin•4.6
