📍Alcala (246 E 44th St, New York, NY 10017). Looking for authentic Spanish cuisine in NYC? 🇪🇸 I stopped by @alcala_nyc , a family-owned restaurant serving traditional Spanish dishes made with fresh ingredients and plenty of passion. One of my favorite starters was the Chorizo en Cazuelita- flavorful Spanish chorizo served sizzling and packed with rich flavor. Their selection of tapas is perfect for sharing, but if you’re coming hungry, don’t skip the paella and arroz dishes. 🥘 Pair your meal with one of their exclusive wines imported from Spain 🍷 for the full experience. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, dinner, or a relaxing meal with friends, Alcala brings a taste of Spain right to Midtown Manhattan. 🪭Follow @TheHungrySW for more NJ/NYC finds! • • • #nj #newjersey #delicious #foodie #food

@alcala_nyc delivers a true taste of Spain with soulful tapas, comforting plates, and a wine list that feels deeply personal (yes, the chef even makes his own wine 🍷). Every dish reflects Chef Jesús’ Galician heritage — thoughtful, heartfelt, and full of flavor. The space feels warm and inviting, like being welcomed into a family meal rather than just another dinner reservation. From the bold garlic shrimp and perfectly cooked Swordfish to tender grilled tuna and baby squid, every bite is worth savoring. Cozy vibes, kind service, and food that makes you want to book a trip to Spain immediately — or at least plan your next visit back here.  Featuring⤵️ Tortilla de Patatas Liescas Catalanas Gambas al Ajillo Chipirones en su Tinta Canelones Abondigas Chorizo en Cazuelita Sardinas a la Parrilla con Ensalada Atun Encebollado 📍246 E 44th St, NY Follow @spinx17 for more NYC food recs! #alcalanyc #spainfood #spanisheats #tapasbar #goldentastyfoodie

@alcala_nyc is a hidden gem for anyone who appreciates refined Spanish cuisine without pretense. It's a perfect spot for a date night, a celebration, or just a dinner where food truly takes center stage. Sardinas a la Parilla were a standout. Fresh, simply prepared with just the right amount of char from the grill. The skin was crisp, the flesh delicate with a clean, briny flavor and taste of pimenton oil. Paella with seafood : The rice was perfectly cooked—al dente with a subtle saffron aroma—layered with fresh mussels, clams, shrimp, and squid. The flavors were rich and balanced, with just enough socarrat (that crispy bottom layer) to make it extra satisfying. Gambas al Ajillo (Shrimp in a sizzling garlic sauce), the shrimp arrive bathed in a fragrant garlic-infused olive oil with just the right touch of heat from sliced red chili. The aroma alone is enough to transport you to a seaside taverna. The shrimp were plump, perfectly cooked—tender yet with a satisfying bite—and absorbed the bold, garlicky essence beautifully. I love to come back to this restaurant again if I'm craving for Spanish food. 📍Alcala Restaurant 246 E. 44th Street New York, NY #spanishfood #spanishrestaurant #paella #paellas #seafood #sardines #sardine #nyceats #nycrestaurants #diningexperience #finedining #Finedininegexperience #tapasbar #spanishdiningexperience #authenticspanishcuisine #foodie #nycfoodie #foodiesinternationalchat
