So the food was delicious! I got the Branzino and it was cooked to perfection. Service was very polite but not quick at all. We got there at 530pm for a 7pm showtime at Prudential Center. We had our drinks and apps by 5:45 but our entrees didn't come out until 6:30, and we ordered everything together knowing we had a tight deadline. I had the branzino and my companion had the porkchops. He said they were ok. Neither dish should have taken 45 minutes. They opened at 5pm I believe and there were 3 other tables in the dining room occupied besides ours, so they were not busy. They give free minestrone soup did I want that in 90 degree weather in the summer? No. Perhaps switch up what you provide...

We had a surprise birthday party for my father with a predetermined menu selection. The private room was cozy, yet the sewer-like stench from the adjacent restrooms dampened the atmosphere. While the service was great, the food was not. The shrimp tasted frozen, not fresh, the rice was undercooked and hard, the chicken in garlic sauce had the fishy shrimp taste that my nephew equated to the swampy smell from the restrooms and the drinks were nearly $20 each! I wouldn 't recommend this establishment at all. If I could give ½ stars, I would.
I have been to the Spanish tavern many times but will not go again. The paella for 2 had 2 clams 2 mussels. A big disappointment with lots of rice and little seafood. It was nothing like the picture on their website There are better places in the Ironbound area to eat.
Over priced for the dry steak I had. Asked for it to be cooked medium and came back well done. When I told the waiter he just aplogized. Their red velvet cheesecake was on point! That's about the only that I enjoyed. Book a table now
This place changed my mind about Spanish/Portuguese food it was excellent. I can’t say enough about the food, the service, and dishes were great proportioned! Definitely will go back!
I have been to many of the Portuguese restaurants in the Iron Bound section over the years. This one was my first time. We started with a recommendation...
A luxury in Irobound , a perennial classic, a top expresión of a Spaniard Restaurant.
