Excellent recommendation

by gad0017

I had dinner on Friday evening upon a co-worker's recommendation at Sangria. The place was busy, so my girlfriend and I had a drink or two at the bar. Even though busy, the bartenders were personal, and the sparkling sangria was different but a great flavor. Before we could finish our first round we were seated on the patio. We had a Tapas combination that was on the chalk boards above the kitchen and it was a great starter and set the mood for the rest of the meal. The duck confit was a great dish as was the seafood paella. We had three to four tapas each and just shared most of them. It was a great place the server let us take our time and order at leisure, but being very attentive. The best part was when the DJ started playing half way through our second pitcher. The entire restaurant was buzzing with laughter and people having a great time. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we ordered a bottle of wine and melted over their dessert called the "Spanish Toast". Upon a recommendation, we had a great night and will turn others toward this well kept secret.

You'll leave hungry and displeased.

Patio is good spot to sit, but other than that it is an awful place. Waitress was very rude and was "put out" to serve us. Food was very bland and over priced. All beef tapas were horrible...NO TASTE. Most menu items are not worth the price. Sangria was uninspired to be named as such. It just tasted like cheap red wine with an orange in it. I have enjoyed much better tapas throughout the Metroplex. Do NOT waste your time or your $$$.

• Pros: Patio area.
• Cons: FOOD...Service....Sangria

Crazy meatballs! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!

This place is one of those spots in Dallas that is really always an enjoyable time for me. Yes, it's very crowded at peak times. Fortunately, I've never gone during peak times. I've really only gone off-peak, which has ensured a certain level of attention and service.

What has blown me away, are some of the dishes: I love the meatballs, the pan con tomate (an absolute STAPLE in Spain), the chorizitos; to me, these things are all fabulous. Chinese long-beans are excellent as well.

Go early to get a spot on the patio. It's worth it!

The reason I really like this place is that it's somewhat a slice of Spain in Knox-Henderson. It's loud, there's great tapas, drinking, food, people laughing, you can eat outside in the night air and it tends to be a beautiful crowd (which approximates the beautiful people of Spain).

• Pros: The perfect first date spot!
• Cons: fills up fast, go early
