We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Sangria 71! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was truly outstanding each dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, with their signature sangrias stealing the show. What really made the evening exceptional, though, was the service. Our waitress Theresa is the best! She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. She had great recommendations and added a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable. Sangria 71 is a gem, and I can’t wait to return for another amazing meal.
