Dear owner(s): You guys are definitely trying too hard. What I mean by that is that you are entering all reviews yourselves. What a bunch of loosers!!! Hey if your restaurant is ...

We were there last night ..The place was packed...combination of europians and Americans.Was very pleasant...I am little bit of shock about the previous review as well...To me who ever wrote this review does not have any clue about spanish food.I also highly suggest that person to take a look at the NEW YORK TIMES sunday issues to see Spain's upcoming high end can products..Yes they use some of these products in a very genious way but their hot tapas selection comes right out from the oven or grill...Obviously these people opinions were only one sited..They did not try the hot tapas dishes...Again very happening place ..we were glad to be there Pros: parking hospitality, informative service, great food more

I AM VERY SURPRISED TO THE PREVIOUS REVIEW....I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE IN ZIPI ZAPE..BUT AFTER TO SEE THIS NO SENSE REVIEW I WANTED TO MAKE COUPLE COMMENTS.IF THE FOOD IS SO BAD WHY LOTS OF SPANIARDS HANGING OUT HERE.MY EXPERIENCE WAS EXTRA ORDINARY.I AM HALF SPANISH HALF AMERICAN.TRIED LOMO , CAMARONES,TORTILLA, PATATAS,CHORIZO SPECIAL....WE REALLY ENJOYED IT Pros: FOOD , SERVICE, DECOR more

ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING ME 5/3/2005

Does someone from CitySearch own this place or something? i see nothing but 'great review's for a place that really is not so great. better tapas than spain? where were you people eating before this? out of a garbage can? the food here is mediocre at best! extremely overprice for the microscopic portions you get. being from spain, i would so enthusiatically recommend this place. i wish someone had half a brain to notice the extreme similarities between all the previous reviews and realize that they were written by either the restaurant under different names or the owners family and friends. Pros: NOT ONE Cons: doe-eyed staff, bland food, miniscule portions more

a total find 1/15/2005

this is exactly what a tapas restaurant should be. everyone that works there seems like they've been off the plane from spain for just enough time to cook & serve your meal. they are all incredibly friendly, giving u advice on what not to miss on the menu, travel tips to Spain (go Madrid before Barcelona), and serve up the very cheap ($5-$6) tapas, quick, fast & hot. they have many unique tapas....definetly try the pork served with onions & bread and the spreadable chorizo. they also have 5-8pm 2-for-1 drink happy hour which means we were drinking their incredible sangria for $2.50 a glass. fun little adventure for manhattanites to bedford (1st stop on L train in brooklyn), frankly i'd never been there before....was very cool, very ethnic felt a bit like haight ashbury with all the artist types & cafes everywhere. try it, you'll love it. Pros: unique menu, staff, price more
