El Born

6.9/10Spanish

AI-generated summary

Spanish tapas in Greenpoint, and the value is what people talk about. The chef's menu and the $39 brunch with come with more food than most can finish. The tortilla espanola with alioli on top has its own fans. One gripe, the corner it sits on is loud and busy.

  • replying to u/Clear_Republiq: Great recs. So, the issue is I went with an ex to La Vara years ago and somehow my wife found out because my friend group is small and someone slipped up, ha. Will look at Txikito for sure!!

    El Born is also pretty good and has paella.

  • Perfectly okay, hate the location; that busy corner near Bedford and Manhattan is not peaceful.

  • replying to u/ExchangePowerful5779: I like boqueria any location but Times Square or El born in greenpoint

    Their tapas are consistently delicious and I'm pretty sure their Paella is the best in the city.
