Five of us had dinner here for my parents anniversary. Started with a Coquito that was on their drink menu, this tasted like the one I had back in Puerto Rico, very authentic. We had the Paella and the Asada experience, both were delicious. Paella had fresh ingredients well seasoned and the Asada steaks were tender and cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend for any special occasion.

All staff were friendly and welcoming. They were knowledgeable about the reservation and mentioned happy birthday before I stated it was my birthday! The manager offered everyone in my party a toast of cava for the occasion as well as a free dessert. I felt like they cared about my experience and it showed. The food was quite delicious and authentic to Spanish tapas and paella you would get at any street bar in Spain. Great service, great food, will be going back and telling friends about this awesome place!

Owner of Orosoko here. Had a large party birthday dinner last night and everyone enjoyed themselves. Great food (the empanadas were stellar!) and the servers and hostesses did an excellent job on a very busy night. The live music was a great touch. Glad we’re neighbors!
