Editorial Review for Las Ramblas – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The Las Ramblas street sign outside the 28-person space refers to the famous street in Barcelona, and the tapas here are more economical than a plane ticket. A friendly staff guides small groups of diners to the day's specials and tapas bar favorites. Exposed brick, a copper bar, a trickling waterfall--all enliven the tapas-sized space.
The Food
It's hard to go wrong. A base of cured olives and crisp patatas bravas lead to a bubbling order of shrimp in garlic, white wine and lemon--a dish whose sauce demands an extra round of bread for the table. The party starts as dishes accumulate: crisped garlic-hued meatballs, addictive fried calamari, warm mini ham sandwiches. Don't miss the unique tuna mojama, smoke-cured so it resembles tuna-jerky; go further down this road with a plate of Spanish meats that move from gamey chorizo to spicy jamon.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkSangria comes three ways--red pear, white peach and sparkling strawberry--but the draw is the all-Spanish wine list. For something different, try the Txacoli ($35 per bottle), a traditional effervescent wine from the Basque region.

I am a fan of Spanish tapas, and I must say that after tasting just about everywhere else, Las Ramblas has the best tapas I've found in NYC. Everyone working there was so nice and helpful. I loved it and want to come back to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. And do ask about the all Spanish wines as they seem to really know what they're talking about. Great stuff!
Pros: Great food, excellent wines, awesome service.
Cons: They don't deliver to the Upper East Side...lol.

I love dining throughout NYC and by far, Las Ramblas is my pick for best authentic Spanish Tapas in NYC. The Tortilla Espanola is to die for. And the Patatas Bravas are perfectly spicy; they're addictive! They offer a Gazpacho soup during the summer that is made from tomatoe and cucumbers, amazing. Then there are the wines! While many rave over the sangria, it's all about the Spanish wines for me. Ask any server to suggest something interesting and you're bound to fall in love with yet another Spanish wine region. I'm currently high on the Txocoli wines from the Basque region which are somewhat "frizzante". The only thing better than the tapas and wines is the service. It's probably the hallmark feature that makes Las Ramblas so popular with its regulars. Keep in mind, Las Ramblas is not large; it's acutally quite small and they do not take reservations. But there are so many reasons why its often crowded. It's worth the wait.
Pros: Great Service, Amazing Food
Cons: Wish it was bigger
