The food is excellent and the seafood paella is mine and my husband's favorite. We also love to get a pitcher of the white sangria, so refreshing. The service is always excellent as well, and somehow it is never too crowded to seat us. This is our favorite paella place in NYC. Highly recommend. I also just tried their Tartufo the other night and it was made extra special.
My group ordered the squid ink calamari, chicken liver, and the Paella Valencia. I rate the value of this place extremely well. You get a large amount of food for the mains and the cost is surprisingly decent for a place in Manhattan nowadays. The constant flow of toasted bread was very appreciated to mop up the delicious sauces. All the food tasted very good and it would take me forever to describe each dish. The service was amazing, I could literally not drink my cup of water even a tiny bit past half the glass before it would be filled up. I assume that I would need to chug it in 1 gulp in order to not half it full for a second.
The atmosphere is intimate and good for dates, while also being chill for groups of friends or family. It has an old school vibe with its decor. The worker are friendly and warm.
I highly recommend everyone try this amazing old school restaurant out.
Last time I ate here must have been almost 30 years ago. This mainstay is just as good as I remember albeit pricier and with smaller portions.
We had the catch of the day which happened to be cod, paella Negra, Arroz con Pollo, and pork cheek!
Appetizers were pulpo estilo feria & mussels!
The dishes were full of flavor, fresh and distinctly El pote!
Do try out this spot that's a bit out of the way but worth the trek!
