La Nacional Restaurant

Such a cool vibe here. The layout so classy, sleek, and modern. Empanadas - Pretty good by themselves, I didn't care much for the sauce. Arroz de Lobster - Delicious! I enjoyed this rice more than the one in the paella. Marisco Paella - Huge and enjoyable. The seafood was cooked so well, especially the shrimp. Churros con Chocolate - My new favorite churros in the city. They were thick, crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The chocolate sauce was amazing. It was like a chocolate mousse pudding with cool vanilla cream at the bottom. We scooped it clean.

Amazing! It felt like a warm hug 🥰 I found this via maps and thought it looked pretty authentic and finding a table on a Friday night was easy once I called. The service was excellent, they made sure to seat us! Food came out quickly, everyone was very nice. The tapas were amazing and very authentic, and the desserts weee fantastic! Bonus points for being close to the train.

First time dining here with co workers & everything was absolutely amazing ! The Sangria is the main reason for our visit & it did not disappoint !! Was incredibly delicious !! We probably chose one of each dish on the menu to get a small taste of several dishes, also absolutely delicious !! What was supposed to be a glass or two of Sangria turned out to us leaving just upon closing !! The food had such good flavor as we enjoyed every dish we had chosen. I must agree with other reviews about the level of service, the staff although very pleasant they aren't very attentive even if it's not busy. We know to order everything we'd like to drink & eat at once. My recommendation would be to make reservations as we tried again as a walk another time but unfortunately no seats available. Other than this tiny issue definitely a fabulous place to dine at.

The food was good but not the best tapas I’ve tried in NYC. They have very good prices on the menu. The crowd favorites were the patatas bravas and the croquetas caseras. We had 5 tapas, a bottle of wine, a fideua of chicken and veggies, and churros. For 6 people this was more than enough food for $38/each. Everyone loved the churros, they were very tasty and crunchy.

Came here to celebrate a birthday dinner and we had a great experience. We were arrested quickly by the servers and took our orders very promptly. Servers were very friendly and there atmosphere was very pleasant. Food also came out relatively quick. Each dish was more delicious than the previous and we were very full by the end of the meal. My personal favorite was they garlic shrimp. Would definitely recommend coming back again.

What a fantastic spot with a great outdoor street terrace. The bartender made me an awesome watermelon mezcal cocktail, the food was delicious, and everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommend the pan tumaca and the Manchego Mac and cheese. The waiter even spoke Spanish ¡OMG! The history of this place is also cool! Used to be called little Spain! Cause big Spain is on the other side of the pond! Que bueno!
