“Culinary Gold in La Plata, Maryland”

Washington Post, February 22, 2007

Americans are discovering the distinctive cuisine of the regions of Spain, and this restaurant offers Southern Maryland’s only (and best!) introduction to the rich and varied flavors and aromas of Iberian cooking.

The owner and chef, Simon Gutierrez and Luis Hernandez offer an extensive menu of familiar Tex-Mex and outstanding authentic Spanish cuisine, including the freshest grilled shellfish, swordfish steaks, skewered pork, Castilian style roast lamb, and two excellent versions of paella, the national dish of Spain and specialty of the house.

Unique and delicious homemade desserts round out the extensive menu. Lovely Spanish music takes you on an aural tour of this beautiful European country as you dine in an elegant dining room with tables covered with linen cloths accented with linen napkins in an atmosphere of old Spain. 

There are so many dishes to try that you'll want to return again and again.
