The ingredients matter! We use fresh, local, and organic ingredients whenever possible. The exceptions are the rice, the pasta, and the saffron, which are brought in from Spain.

Tapas or Appetizers

Our standard tapas include:

Plato de Jamon & Queso – A variety Spanish meats and cheese served with crackers, fresh baguette bread, and dried fruits.

Tortilla de Patatas – Traditional Spanish omelet made with fresh eggs, diced potatoes, and sweet onions. Cut in diamond-shaped bite sized portions.

Bruschettas – Fresh tomato and basil on baguette bread.

Specialized Appetizers

Shrimp Ceviche Spoons – Peruvian ceviche served in spoons made of shrimp, sweet potato, red onions, corn kernels, rocoto, and lime.

Jamon Iberico – One of Spain's treasures. The finest Jamon from Spain cut into thin slices of the dark red ham that have a deep, complex flavor.
