We just went there, and I was very disappointed abouat the food.  I had paella, and there were no chorizos, no ham and no peas or visible pimiento,  And there was certainly  no saffron!  I was told customers didn't like chorizo, so they eliminated them from the paella.  That doesn't impress me.

Oh the other hand, the flamenco was excellent (I've lived in Spain and feel free to comment on both the food and the dance as a result!)

This historic Spanish restaurant which has featured live flamenco shows regularly for more than 30 years, will be closing for good in a few weeks.  :)

I happen to be the guitarist of the flamenco group performing there this weekend and am saddened by this loss for the DC flamenco community.  I can't say I've had a chance to try the food, but I'll give a report after this weekend.
