Best Latin American Spanish Restaurants in Uptown

Truly an outstanding experience in all aspects - service, food, everything! My friend and I had a 5:30 reservation for dinner before the theater. There was ample street parking. All though we were quite early for our reservation, we were greeted warmly and seated. My friend had a mezcal margarita and I had a shot of the recommended mezcal. We didn’t order appetizers, but homemade chips and a black bean dip were brought with the drinks. Very nice! I had the rabbit and salad dinner which was rich, a bit spicy, and totally delicious! My friend had the cod wrapped in banana leaf which she loved. Warm tortillas accompanied the meal. The waiter had informed us that the cod took 25 minutes but we explained our situation and he said we had plenty of time. We got to The Raven Theater with 30 minutes to spare. We both had coffee and my friend had vanilla flan for dessert. This restaurant is in my neighborhood but, even if it were far, I would definitely come back. The service was not only excellent but they made us feel at home. Food - over 5 stars. What a gem!

Loved the ambience overall and the food was delicious! I recommend giving it a try!!

AZUL is a gots-to-try restaurant. Very intimate and chilled. The staff was fun and inviting. This will be a nice spot to have a birthday party, baby shower, girls/boys night out, etc…. Drinks were good and the tacos were flavorful. Will be back.

Terrific experience. Expensive as Spanish restaurants/tapas go, but very high quality and a funky comfortable ambience that works well. Paella was at an exceptional quality and thoroughly authentic for Valencia and surroundings. The “5 jotas” jamón iberico lived up to its rating and is a special treat for this side of the pond. Well matched wines: the sommelier did his/her homework. These were not routine choices and were of fine character. A return visit mos def in the works!

The food and service was great. The seating is a little close together due to the size of the place. The only negative part was trying to find parking.
