Under new management, the Lower East Side is getting a taste of true authentic Spanish cuisine. Starting with the sangria that offers the perfect blend of specially selected Spanish wine and fresh fruits, the first sip will surely take you back to Spain. The Calamares Romana cooked meticulously and I dare anyone to find calamari prepared this well for under $10. The Solomillo is a carefully cooked asparagus wrapped with succulent filet mignon. The 1492 tasting is the super bowl of all tapas because there is something for everyone in this carefully selected surf-meets-turf dish (the oyster was dressed with a topping that left me speechless). The Ximenez 1971 dessert wine was the ultimate companion to the selection we ordered. The flan is prepared the way the Spaniards intended and the chocolate souffle made our lady companions devour every spoonful.
