My friends and I came here for a late dinner and we split a pitcher of the red sangria which was yummy. Our server was super nice. It wasn't that crowded which was nice. The tapas plates we got were the meatballs which were yummy, the potatoes which were good, eggplants were way too salty, spinach and corn which wasn't bad, and the stars wrapped in bacon which were not the best.

If you are looking for a wonderful experience to share with friends and family this is a great place to go. It has a large variety of tapas items as well dinner fare. The food is excellent and don't miss out on the Sangria and wine specials. There is also a patio for those of you who enjoy a romantic evening in the night time air.

Huge fan of La Tienda. I always drive past this spot but always seem to forget to go there. Finally, with some folks in town, we decided to give it a try. Glad we did!!! This place is best suited for groups of 4 or less as the goal is everyone gets a small plate and then it gets passed around the table. We had three in our party and sampled a bunch of different things on the menu. My favorite by a mile was the bacon wrapped dates with stuffed cheese. I think I could've eaten 100 of these things. They are so good and I would come back just to get this dish. My other highlight was the lightly fried eggplant (pictured). It comes drizzled in honey. This light dish is very tasty. The bread and olive oil is good but pretty basic. The shrimp is also good and the sauce base acts as a great vessel to dip the bread in. Among other things we ordered, the mussels present a great value as you get a lot of them and they taste nice and fresh. The Rellenos were also good but not as great an option for sharing if you have more than three. Finally, the sliced chorizo was fine. I wouldn't get it again. For desert they were unfortunately out of the cheesecake so we got the almond cake. It was light with some nice lemon/orange zest on top. Overall, I love this place. It is a great date spot or small group special occasion.

La Tienda is what Spanish cuisine dreams are made of. We had an assortment of tapas; bread and olives, patatas bravas, albondigas, la paella del dia, and churros. We tasted the red and white sangrias. The flavors of each dish and the sangrias paired perfectly. Each dish had distinct flavors. We will absolutely be back to visit again and try more tantalizing tapas. Our server, Daniella, was absolutely wonderful and made each moment special. The ambiance made us feel like we are in a Spanish courtyard.

So very nice. We had a yelp free appetizer. Everything was yummy. Was not a huge fan of the meatballs but i think it was just not my thing.we had the Ham and cheese sticks...so yummy. Olives and bread , eggplants. the Wine was amazing but I will say my first glass had half as much as the second one. I would go back for sure though. A fun night out.Next time I may shop for some Spanish wine

Amazing place to relax after a massage or quaint for a nice date with your significant other. When the weather is nice, sit outside on the patio! First, I suggest starting with a pitcher of Sangria...if you're not driving get the LARGE. I prefer the red sangria, the wife loves the red and white. We always get the bread and olive basket...the bread is always fresh and is right out of the oven. The olives have seeds but are amazeballs! Second item is the Gambas al Ajillo...shrimp in a special sauce, garlic etc...this sauce is perfect for dinching the fresh bread! These first items are a must order each and every time you visit..just saying. First time trying the Croquetas jamon y manchego...croquette's were so good, there is tiny amounts of ham in it, and more fattyness than I like. i would suggest less fattyness and more ham in the croquesttes. Taste was amazing though. The last but of details on this review is the service...absolutely impeccable service, Thank You Susan W, for the amazeball service and kindness you provide each and every visit.

What a gem in Williamsburg. Came on a Saturday afternoon and sat outside on the patio. We arrived right when La Tienda opened and there was a lining forming at the front door waiting. Service was a little slow but seemed they likely weren't staffed for as many people dining. We didn't mind the leisurely lunch sipping sangria (a must try) and snacking through their menu. I can't wait to go back and try the Paella. The stuffed peppers were our favorite and keep the garlic shrimp to dunk your bread in the sauce.

Our ladies gathered here for our luncheon and we were able to socialize and dine all together. They were very accommodating and even provided separate checks. Three of us shared the daily special Paella which was Chicken and Shrimp along with the Bocadillo, Jamon and Manchego. We were so pleased to share the eggplant that was lightly breaded and fried with honey added to it. Amazing time together. Liam took such excellent care of all of us!
