Over the years, Don Quijote has had more than its fair share of bad publicity, but it appears they've weathered negative reports of bad service, lackluster food, and Donoghue v Stevenson-type lapses. Their half-a-decade tenure in the brutal F&B scene, where Spanish restaurants are a dime and dozen these days, is evident of their staying power, and their loyal following. Tbh, Don Quijote isn't the most outstanding or exciting of Spanish restaurants, but like that trusty beat-up Toyota Corolla, the fare here is hearty, rustic, and solid. Still, Don Quijote is excellent in their treatment of seafood, so best to focus your orders on their seafood-based tapas.
We had:
1) Gambas Al Ajillo ($18): get the live prawns, as opposed to the regular prawns. Purportedly sweeter, these were lipsmackingly good.Highly recommended.
2) Grilled Squid ($16): absolutely fantastic. Brilliantly cooked, with a smoky accent, this was a must-try.
3) Chipiron ($15): perfectly tender baby squid cooked in its own ink, wonderfully nuanced.
4) Tacos de Lomo al Queso Azul ($21) - tenderloin beef cubes with blue cheese dressing: The beef was cooked very well, and sauce refined, but even that couldn't mask the gamey taste of the beef.
5) Paella Especial ($53 for small): commendable, but a tad forgettable. That said, the seafood was very nicely treated, and swimmingly fresh.
6) Churros ($16): Delicious, these were crunchy on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside
