Highly recommended!!We teleport to a typical Spanish tavern. We ordered the Gambias al ajillo, the potato omelette, a plate of ham cut with a knife at the moment and a black fideuá. Everything spectacular. We accompany it with some cocktails and finish with a homemade cheesecake.We will be back.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian croquettes, they have hummus, vegetable paella, garlic mushrooms, bravas potatoes, aioli potatoes, potato omelette...I think I'm forgetting something, but there is a great variety of vegetarian dishes.Parking: They have a parking lot at the back of the restaurant.

Great staff and owner named Peter. Great food with nice portions. I had to try the basque which was pretty sizable and it was so good! I went with a large group of people and the staff were accommodating and nice.I also loved the eclectic aesthetics of this place! With the vintage piano as a beer tap, and upside down tub as a chandelier and typewriters on the wall!

The place has rats. I was shocked to see it just running around. And when I told the manager and employee they just looked at me. No one tried to catch it or anything. I guess this is normal here.

Excellent place! Excellent food and excellent service! I met with my friends to celebrate my birthday. I'm a big Celtics fan. It's a nice place to watch a game and enjoy some drinks.

Olespaña is an underappreciated gem in Watertown, right near the Cambridge and Belmont borders and accessible by MBTA buses. The food, drinks, and especially the service are outstanding. Bring friends to try the authentic Spanish tapas and paella, but there is also a wide menu for everyone to enjoy. There is an extensive whiskey, wine, and beer menu, with incredibly affordable wine specials every day. From dinner to late night drinks, I’ve always had an excellent experience here. I especially love the new energy, creative design, and cleanliness the owners have brought to what was previously an old dive bar and restaurant.

Cool place with reasonably priced food and drink. However, I hate to say it but both the food and drink were a miss. My drink was not mixed great coming out very bitter and the food was hit and miss. The croquetas were very good and authentic. However the paella came out quite gloopy and generally not the right texture. Overall, I am disappointed in what this place could be but okay with what the place is.
