Despaña

wonderful tapas place! lots of food to taste from ham and cheese to sardines and olives. also some nice authentic spanish dishes like patatas rojo or fried cheese balls with a mix of meat/cheese inside (just godlike). couple of open wines to taste and a nice collection of bottled ones. overall awesome place

All six dishes were phenomenal.

Went by Despaña for what was supposed to be a quick lunch stop, but we ended up having lunch inside to enjoy the lovely ambience. The place is run by people that truly care about their produce, and you can taste it as well. We went for two toasted sandwiches, I really recommend visiting!

What a treat to sit in the back and have a bunch of small orders both cold and warm served to your table. And don’t forget to take home some of their great selection.

Would not feed this to my cat. Got food poisoning. Food was disgusting. Total scam. They know what they’re doing. Ordered cheese/meat platter and gambas al ajillo. Came with olives that were rotting and stale crackers. The shrimp smelled and tasted like it was boiled in clam brine—inedible. Wine was good. Want to know the cost? $135 dollars before tip. I have ordered this exact meal at around 30 locations at all price points in the US and Spain. I had to leave because the smell of the shrimp was making me nauseous. I wouldn’t feed this to a cat, dog, or rat. Protect your wallet and spare your Friday night! Go to boquería.

Authentic and quality Spanish ingredients. You can also get something to eat at the place in a bunch of tables they have: a few tapas and wine. But the strong point is the sort of market with all quality goods from Spain: jamón ibérico, anchoas, bonito, arroz bomba, judión de la granja, fabes, morcillas, chorizos, quesos, almendras marcona, vinagre de jerez, aceite de oliva… the list goes on. Top quality products

A wonderful place for tapas. Delicious and fresh food within a store. A nice experience!
