    Yes, let's talk about this place. Please note, the tasting is based on the flamenco show and dinner. Flamenco dancers and guitarist? They dance, they play, they entertain. Food? Woh, please do not expect much. The paella passes but it's missing the best ingredient (to me), Spanish sausage. Chicken is good, probably the best, Salmon is ok. Dessert wasn't bad. The only drink done well it's the Cadillac. Do not, and I warn you, please do not order an Old fashion. You will be beyond disappointed by what you receive.

    Great food. I do miss the old Algeria with real tapas. Our server Alfonso was great and the food was delicious. We only come to this Pine Ave restaurant when in town from the Phoenix area.

    A fun place, but rough around the edges. *Updated to 1 star for being dirty. Watched someone behind the bar take out the trash, not wash their hands, and then start making drinks. Hell no.* *Was originally a 3 star rating but down graded to 2 once I thought more about the hazard of having restrooms with multiple soap dispensers that are all empty with no paper towels. Are the staff washing their hands???* Staff was friendly and helpful. The music is great, and the small dance floor in the bar area was great once took a breather after the meal. It is loud! The nachos were loaded and good. The chilequiles were good, both the beef and chicken versions. Trash in the plants next to our outdoor table, sticky table, restroom had NO soap and NOTHING to dry your hands. Under staffed on Labor Day weekend. One waiter and one person bussing tables. Had to go find a person to order. Ceviche was alright. Mango threw off the flavor, might have been improved with more lime. It says it comes with platanos, which are just plain chips. Cucumber slices looked old so I didn’t feel comfortable eating them. I’d be back and would enjoy myself, but would come more for the venue and not the food.

    This place will not allow men with sandals yet women are allowed with sandals.. After a group of women entered just before me with sandals the security and on duty manager refused me to enter with the sandals... I offered to pay more money and the manger did consider this. This place does not treat men and women the same even if you have similar or the same attire...

    Maybe my food expectations were too high. Came on a Friday night, the place was dead, quick service was a plus, but would not come back for food.

    Went for Sunday brunch. Place was empty but the service was great. Food was very tasty. Full of flavor. Ordered chilaquiles and quesadillas de pollo. Bottomless mimosas are very good. Good music playing in the background. Overall, great experience.

    This was hands down some of the most delicious Latin American food that I have had. You’ve got to be into different flavors being that this is not traditional. My boo and I were delighted!! Service was wonderful 💕

    So I saw a Groupon for this for ultimate experience flamenco show which I thought was good idea to take my friend for her birthday here. But after reading reviews it was free anyway so I decided to not spend money on Groupon and just reserve a table. But that was not the case. The restaurant has now put some shower curtain to cover the show, which I was still able to see from outside and was not impressed at all. The food was ok. Some meat was hard some tender. I felt like they mixed some of meat with old and new meat.I had Lomo Salta do. It was pricey not worth money. Server didn't come to table as often to check if we needed something. Service was mediocre. Sauce was missing from plate, and when wanted to order drink, no where to be found. Over all its good for just one time experience. Beware don't spend the money on Groupon you will end up spending more than u need to. The show only lasts maybe 45 minutes.

    Was excited to visit, but after sitting unattended for at least 30 minutes and making eye contact with the waitress a couple times and she continued to ignore our table, we decided to leave without being served. Interestingly enough, the waitress was quick to pick up the menus with ease. There she had absolutely no issue rushing over to the table. I don’t see the point in going back and giving it another chance. Poor customer service says a whole lot about a place, so I can only imagine how lack luster the food would have been.

    Great place for dinner and join the fun as it becomes a club after 9 pm. Great music! ...cozy front patio for large groups is awesome

    Love the Red. The location feels romantic but sexy at the same time. Delicious Calamari & strong margaritas.

    Great atmosphere and music. The drinks were well prepared and include a happy hour 4-8 pm. I have not tried the food, but will certainly try something on my next visit.

    The flamenco dancer ( I think her name was Tatiana) was amazing! OMG That lady knows how to entertain. Unfortunately the rest of the the experience wasn't that awesome. They only had one kind of spanish wine at least that's what the bartender told us, thank God it was good. The room for the show wasn't close (private) just for us who paid for the dinner and show, it was open to anyone who walk by in the restaurant

    The food and service were great. Came on a Saturday night and the street was closed down to accommodate the restaurants. We were immediately seated, and ordered a sangria. We then ordered the salmon plate and shrimp plate. Both were very good. The service was great also 👍

    When you order food to go, this is how they give you the dipping sauce for your appetizer….wtf…. why not use a separate container for the dipping sauce, so the food is not soggy when I get home? The food it is not economical. They should be able to offer better service. Never again. The food I ordered, was not even great.
