The word "tapa" literally means "lid," and the origin of the tapas custom most probably lies in the placing of a small plate or lid over a glass of wine when served.

It is also said that a centuries-old decree insisted all bars and roadhouses serve food as an accompaniment to wine, in an attempt to ensure at least a modicum of sobriety among the nation's coach drivers.

A tapa is a delicious morsel of food that defines a lifestyle as well as a culinary style. Tapas in Spain are almost always accompanied by wine, but they are as much about talking as they are about eating and drinking. The wine is, perhaps, the medium that holds the conversation, the friends and the food together. The primary purpose of tapas is to talk to friends, to share the gossip of the day.

We also feature a full cocktail menu and Spanish wine list to enhance your dining experience. The restaurant can accommodate a total buyout or smaller meetings, please call to discuss your needs.

Sharing tapas is a fun way to have a meal
Although I'd heard some bad things about the service being slow and the noise level being high, I didn't experience either of those negatives on this visit. The waitress was attentive and happy to answer questions about the menu, drinks were refilled and food arrived at the proper temperature and in a fairly short time.

Awesome! More Than Expected
We had a great time! The food was wonderful. Because the portions are small (and priced accordingly) we were able to sample several items and loved each. We plan to return and work our way through the menu. A nice unique find!

Just ok
Although there is a lot of variety, the tapas are just average. I've been about 5 times and ordered similar appetizers everytime but tapas are not prepared consistently. Twice they ran out of bread. Dining in the evening is VERY noisy so if you go with a large group be prepared to shout. Prices seem high for the value.

Very good for Indy
I went to Barcelona with a fairly large group and had a great time. It may not be the place for a private date, but the food is good and if you have a lot of people you can order a lot and share it, as tapas are meant to be served.

This place was not that good for food or service. It was loud and near a homeless shelter.
