For around $100 there is no better place in NJ for a date. Portion sizes are huge, food is delicious, and wait staff is very attentive. They also have a surprisingly good dessert menu. When the place is packed it's really fun and everyone is having a good time. Get the steamed octopus for an appetizer.

The food was fantastic. The portions were enormous. The entrees are large and are served with shared sides of rice and veggies.

I went for a wedding and they had a lot of food to choose from because it was buffet style. Most options were good, drinks didn’t have a great selection but the bartender was really nice.

They have a dress code. The host attendants had us sit down and afterwards told us we cant wear that. Oh well. We politely left and took our business to another restaurant and spent our money!

This place has been around for years. I have never been inside. The back room is very pretty at night and modern. The food was ok. Nothing special. Typical Spanish food. The garlic shrimp lacked flavor. It was not bad but could use more garlic. The meat they served us was the best tasting part of the meal.The sangria was well made. I would skip their dessert. The crème brûlée wasn’t as creamy as I usually get. The flan had no flavor, the other members of my party commented.The servers were quick at responding at our requests.
