Barraca Tapas Paellas Sangrias Macondo West – Taperia Latina
Barraca Tapas was an amazing experience for the Brooklyn Soul Clap team. We enjoy their $18 lunch special which included 3 different choices of Paellas, salads, and soups is one of the best deals along New York City’s Greenwich Avenue eatery strip. They even have $6 happy hour specials where you can get an great array of selected tapas, wine, beer, and sangrias each for $6! Their lunch special dishes portions are not too small, it is a decent size, and the fresh farmers’ market tasting produces and ingredients where mouth watering with great flavoring. Our server “Boeing” was a great delight and very knowledgeable on advising us on our selections. It’s no surprise they are the winner of the 2017 “Diners’ Choice Award”.
To really help you understand how much of a great culinary deal Barraca Tapas’ happy hour and lunch specials are, below are pictures and receipt from our dinner.
The Brooklyn Soul Clap team went back for dinner and happy hour to experience the difference in pricing, dinner portions, and especially customer service. The customer service wasn’t the best due to the very busy crowd and lackluster waiters. Most of the patrons were ordering mainly from the Happy Hour menu therefore we had to wait extremely long for our Paella dish which the calamari was so burnt. The Paella for dinner was much larger in portion than for lunch but food prep quality was extremely low. The Gambas Al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp tapas) and Sangria was the highlight from our dinner.
Brooklyn Soul Clap suggest trying out the lunch and happy hour special menus first before exploring the dinner menu. Although they have outside and indoors seating, this place can get crowded really fast, so try to get there at the start of lunch or happy hour. They are also “pet friendly” which means you and your furry friend can enjoy chilling together throughout your stay.
