Gambas al Ajillo
Shrimp perfectly cooked with a good snap and rich garlic flavor, ideal for soaking up with bread.
"Gambas ($17) - shrimp was perfectly cooked. Very good snap and garlic flavour was good. I would order this again"

Paella (Valenciana/Mariscos/Arroz Negro)
A signature dish, available in various styles like seafood, Valencian, or squid ink, known for its authentic flavor and perfectly cooked rice, often with a desirable crispy bottom layer.
"The paella was easily some of the best we’ve had in Vancouver, and the ensalada de atun is absolutely fantastic — we would go back again just for that dish."

Pata de Pulpo con Sobrasada
Tender octopus served with a seasonal purée and a rich sobrasada spread, praised for its tenderness and balanced flavors.
"PATA DE PULPO CON SOBRASADA: Octopus, seasonal purée, and rich sobrasada spread 10/10 - probably the best octopus I’ve had in Vancouver, extremely tender and not too salty!"
