Come here for lazy Sunday brunch Spanish style. Enjoy tapas and $3 mimosas and bloody Mary's with front row seats to the action on 2nd St.
A bit of Spain in Austin – The wine list is extensive and very good. Prices are a bit higher than other establishments, so you need to know your wines, so you can order appropriately. Bar staff was understaffed with 2 people behind a busy bar. Cold and Hot tapas are very good, which enhance the wine found in their cellars. Atmosphere is nice, and like every other place in 2nd Street, is trendy and you will need to plan ahead, and try to reserve ahead. Hostess staff is very cocky and to an extent rude, but that is what you ge... read more
Horrible Service – What makes any establishment great is it's people. Unfortunately this place doesn't have them. We were excited to find a place that would give a class on cooking with the meal. We purchased a gift certificate for 10 people to dine and have the chef give us a class on wine and spanish quisine. We had to book the time about a month and a half in advance because they only did this.class at certain times. It was a challenge to get ten people all there at the same time. We called a day in advance to confirm wit... read more
Wonderful restaurant with amazing food and atmosphere! – This restaurant is located in the warehouse district downtown. I was very impressed and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a little Spanish flair! Fantastic food at a reasonable price! I enjoyed that the portions are small, so my friends and I were able to order a variety and try a number of different items. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to recommend several different wines based off the tapas we ordered. And I loved t... read more
In Southern Spain, this food comes free with your drinks – I have lived in Andalusia, where the name-sake of this restaurant is located. The tapas you get In this restaurant are similar o the free tapas they offer in tapas bars as snacks to be eaten with your drinks. You need to spend a lot of money here to get full on pretentious little dishes that are reminiscent of samples you can enjoy while shopping at HEB. This restuarant is no more than a fashionable little playground for austenites who care little about good food. Th... read more
Credit Card just to make a reservation – I tried to book a reservation for Valentines day for me and my girl. This place is kind of a sentimental choice for us, since we went there for our first Valentines (In fairness, we had a great time). So I call and the hostess informs me that only the manager can make the reservation, so I say fine, call me back when he gets there. So I put off making my Valentines reservation (dangerous) and he does call me back. Here is the kicker. Adam, the manager, tried to get me to leave a credi... read more
Great outdoor dining at the new location – It is not like our favorite Tapas restaurant "Tapeo" in Boston, but it is VERY close. Especially now that they have outdoor seating. The Sangria is exceptional and the variety of food is good.
In sum, my friends and I had a horrible experience. The waiter was inattentive - - My soda was flat, but I had to wait 20 minutes before he came back to the table to ask for a replacement beverage. The worst part of our dining experience was that the wait staff removed plates and glasses before we had even finished eating and drinking what we had purchased. Although the chef/owner stopped by our table to ask if everything was satisfactory, he told me to wait 5 minutes when I told him there were several major problems with ou... read more
Best spot for tapas in Austin! – I was a fan of Malaga when they had their smaller location next to Cedar St., so I was excited to try out the new location downtown off of 2nd St. The space is much larger but still has the long bar and the decor the other location had. They've also added a nice patio out front and have some great happy hour specials (glass of wine and tapas for less than $10)! I was with a large group and we ordered a variety of dishes but the Queso de Cabra Frito con Miel was my favorite! The calamari is pr... read more
