Great experience. I started visiting the Spanish Pabillion this year, 2024. I was looking for a sport bar or restaurant where my family and I could watch the Euro2024. I found this place to be really good. It has a nice outdoor space with food and bar service. We sat inside at the bar every time we visited it as we found it the most cozy place with great ambiance. People are friendly and respectful. The service was great. The bartender is a young Portuguese man, Joao, with great skills at serving and knowing the client's taste. I had different sort of Spanish Tapas, including "callos"... wow, I had years I didn't eat those... It was delicious! If you ever visit Harrison Town in NJ, don't hesitate to stop by this place for Tapas, a Spanish or Portuguese beer or wine. Oh! And if you wonder about parking, there is plenty of parking next to the restaurant. Enjoy and buen provecho!

They a great lunch menu. It includes a soup or salad. Making this place a great find for the price. It's a bit dark inside. But they have a patio in the summer evenings. The server was very kind and refilled our water without us requesting it. The garlic shrimp was very good and a good size portion. My companion said the bacalao was good. I'll take his word for it. The included soup hit the spot on a cool day.

I remember when this restaurant was featured on a popular tv show at the time, for help keeping their doors opened. I always assumed it did not survive. I am happy to discover that I was wrong! We went as a party of 3 for lunch. A friend told me she gets monthly deals and it was worth it. She told no lies! I am impressed that their lunch menu is (which is still a full menu) is available until 5pm (including weekends). We shared an appetizer of fried calamari and a pitcher of white sangria for the table. I had the shrimp in garlic sauce, which came with vegetables on the side, and a choice of soup or salad. Calamari - AMAZING!!! It was so fresh and fried to perfection, not over or under done. Not too much breading! Exquisite. No complaints! Chicken noodle soup - the other 2 people in my party said the soup was thin and lacked flavor. I had the house salad, which came with house made balsamic vinaigrette. The waiter told me I'd love it, and he was one hundred percent correct! It was the best part of the salad. And a delightful pre-requisite to the meal. Shrimp in garlic sauce - mildly spicy, it creeps up with each forkful and it's oh so delicious! The garlic flavor is plentiful (which i prefer). The portion is more than adequate for lunch. It came with yellow rice and a side of green beans, carrots, and broccoli. I had ONE piece of broccoli. It was delectable, but the portion was disappointing. More, please! White sangria - I never wanted it to end after every sip! However, $28 for a such a small pitcher is ridiculous. I was told that recently it was much more reasonable in pricing. Overall, a wonderful experience. Great, clean atmosphere. The servers who clear the table can be a little intrusive and rude, they attempted to remove plates while we were still eating and in conversation.

Been coming here for years. On our way to a. Bonnie Raitt concert at NJPAC last night, and stopped for dinner. Calamari appetizer, pork chop, garlic chicken, and Spanish coffees which topped off a fabulous meal.

I came here for my birthday dinner with my family. We arrived at 4:35 so we were able to order off the lunch special menu which is available from 11:30-5pm. My waiter was very sweet and patient with my niece. All the staff members were inviting and very friendly. All the entrees came with 2 sides of our choice. We all chose spanish rice and mixed vegetables. Veggies were good, but the rice was a little undercooked. I ordered the breast of chicken madrillenan, which is just chicken with lemon butter sauce. I thought it tasted good but was a bit salty. My family members got the shrimp and garlic entree, and they loved that they got a lot of shrimp. But they also thought that their meal was a little salty. I got the white sangria as my drink, and I enjoyed it. The staff sang happy birthday to me and brought out some flan with a sparkler. I'm not usually a fan of Flan, but I loved theirs. It has this hint of cinnamon and rich caramel that makes a delicious dessert. Overall, I would say it was a good experience. I would come back to try other items on the menu.

The inside looks much better than outside. Ambiance is nice. We ordered wine and a bunch of tapas which were delicious!

Very nice restaurant. You feel like you are at home in Sevilla. Estaba una poquita nerviosa porque hace 30+ años que hablaba español, pero esto fue pa nada porque el camarero era tan simpático y agradable. It was a bit awkward since my husband looks to me for Spanish and my son does a great job for it, but the people there were so wonderfully kind. The tortilla was good, I could do without pimiento and and the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and yummy. The steak sandwich my son ate was like buttah as it melted in your mouth and the burger was so large that it was a challenge to finish it. I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was after hours and next time I hope to have a coffee. I am so happy we stopped here to grab a bite. Listening to Alejandro Fernandez was a wonderful reminder of being in an authentic place. We drove 10 hours and ate here. I would do it again in a heartbeat .
