in the last weekAs a spaniard I truly enjoy my recent visit to Little Spain. The food is true to taste, and just as I'd imagined. Interior, design, and layout of the whole location is great. My only drawback, is that true spanish food doesn't cost as much as it is here at Little Spain. But I get it, Jose Andres has to make a dollar.

in the last weekBeware — this place is overpriced. Additionally, this place has auto-tip selected at their counter service restaurants. You will end up paying $5 more for a grilled cheese sandwich because of this deception if you don’t swipe quick enough.
