Food and service was great!! They have a wonderful team and they're food and homemade bread were amazingly delish! Noise level is high but fun , seating in booths could use some cushions for comfort for your back ,feels like a stiff pew for a taller person per my partner, otherwise couldn't think of anything else negative to say. Food was perfectly fresh and outstanding !! We thoroughly enjoyed our birthday meal. Will be back!

Some of the tapas, like the grilled octopus and lamb croquettes (a special of the day) were exceptional, and most were very good. Fans of gambas al ajillo may want to skip it, as the shrimp were disappointing. El Pulpo also has many paella options, and the Valenciana was nice. It had a good crust around the edge of the pan and rich flavors.
