Where in NYC for a show and decided to visit our old home area of Hell's Kitchen along 9th Ave to dine on ethnic cusinine we don't usually find out in Bucks County PA. On this cold night, post show, we ended up at ESZ Paella & Tapas on 9th Ave at 50th street. Was empty as it was Super Bowl Sunday night and we had an 8 pm train to make. Plenty of time to sit and enjoy some tappas with a couple glasses of wine in a NYC environ. Super friendly staff and so pleased to help and make you happy. Took us a bit to read through and get familarized with all the lovely Paella and Tappas (Spanisha nd Venezuelan options). We kicked off with the Camarones Ajillo - saffron flavored shirmp on creamy garlic parmesan sauce, and albondigas Ardient - a lovely spicy meatball tappas that was AWESOME, next the Montaditos- Venezuela and Burrito Chicken Caribean with a side of black beans. All the flavors worked so well and complemented each plating. We enjoyed our dishes with glasses of Pinot Noir (myself) and Sauvignon Blanc (my wife).All in all, an excellent evening out after theater or anytime.

Came here with a friend for lunch. The interior was casual and simple, but lively and full of color. Out of the tapas, I ordered the Arepitas Ibericas, which were arepa balls stuffed with pork and cheese, topped with aioli sauce. It tasted pretty good, with a nicely crisp exterior. However, it was served without cheese, so I felt like it was missing something. I also tried my friend's Tostones with shredded beef. These were delicious! The Tostones were satisfyingly crispy, perfectly thin and lightly salted. The beef was juicy and well seasoned.For my main course, I went with the Chicken Paella, adding Shrimp. This came with peppers and wonderfully flavorful saffron rice. There was plenty of chicken and shrimp throughout the paella. The Shrimp was succulent, while the chicken was tender. Service was pretty good. Our waitress was personable and helpful. Everything came out in a timely manner. Prices were decent for the area. I would consider coming back, but wouldn't rush to do so.

Must try: Paella Burrito, Montadito Venezuela, Yuquitas con Chimichurri, Albondigas, and Sangria!Why: Came for the Paella Burrito and it was fantastic! Packed with beef, peppers, cheese, lettuce and Paella rice Mixed with Caribbean Spicy Sauce. Tons of flavor in each bite. Tapas were also delicious - Montadito (arepas with plantains, shredded beef, and garlic sauce on top), yuca fries, and albondigas (meatballs). That sauce on the meatballs was so good! You can get it spicy too. Washed it down with a refreshing Passion Fruit Sangria!Notes: Small and cute restaurant in Hell's Kitchen with small tables. Good for small groups. Great service - workers were welcoming, helpful, and attentive.

Good food, but too overpriced for portions. The point of tapas is to have small inexpensive bites in my opinion, and this place is high in the teams for price and not a lot of food.I got the meatballs with potatoes. The meatballs were exquisite. The potatoes were OK. I like all of it. But for what I paid the value isn't there.

We have visited this small storefront restaurant in the past and have always enjoyed it. It was the same this time. We were there for lunch before a matinee. Great food at reasonable prices for the theater district. I had the seafood paella and my wife had the chicken. The portions were filling for lunch special. Friendly service. The food is 5*..

This small restaurant has a big menu and the service was excellent. We had several great dishes and shared them family style. All of us thought the flavors and presentation were incredible.

I don't know if it was an off day but the paella had an extremely odd taste.. like a hint of dark dark chocolate? Not sure, but it was weird. Paella burrito and empanadas were ok but I was pretty disappointed overall :(

I got a pulsd deal to come here and after seeing the many good reviews I couldn't wait. We made reservations and glad we did since this place is on the small side and it was packed. We got to try the empanadas, garlic shrimp, seafood paella and churros. I was shocked but how amazing the food was. Everything was flavorful and the portions are very generous. Now the paella was super tasty but not Spaniard original. I can't wait to come back and taste their other dishes.

So many good dishes to choose. We settled on creamy garlic shrimp, meatballs. They are delicious, and passion fruit juice. Foods are delicious. Will definitely come back to try more. Drink is okay, too! Highly recommended!

The owners and staff are very attentive; the paellas are delicious, and the place is very cozy. Always I have the paella, which is outstanding. The passion fruit sangria was delicious. The crema catalana and the flan were OK.
