Jumbo Shrimp Enchilados was excellent and spicy. Ask for the special house picante for an extra kick and savory flavor. Never disappointed at the Spanish Tavern.

Very attentive and polite service. Octopus appetizer was tender and tasty. Paella Valencia was a large portion (for 2) with very well cooked lobster. Chicken and sausage slightly dry. Crisp spanish potatoes to die for and solid broccoli rabe. Would definitely go back when in area for event at Prudential Center.
