Penny, I've had no exposure to Spanish cuisine. Thanks for showing another side of Raleigh I was unaware of.

I love paella so I'm always keeping an eye out for restaurants serving Spanish cuisine. Don't know how I missed this place! Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check it out.
Penny, Kelly and I had a great evening at Tasca Brava a while ago, the owner spent most of the evening with us. Fantastic food great wine and espresso, he makes the espresso himself and freaks if you try and put sugar in it!
Tim - Paella (made from scratch) is a favorite of mine too!
David - What a great place.....small businesses like this have an incredible character that chains can't touch.
