Opinions de Marcelina's Brooklyn
This was one of the best Valentine's Day experiences I've ever had. Great food and even better atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Husband and I went here for my birthday dinner last week. Wonderfully romantic spot with amazing food (lots of vegetarian and even vegan options). Pretty much everything, including the cheeses, are made fresh right there! Fine selection of wine. Warm, quick, and friendly (but not intrusive) service. Pretty affordable. Somewhat limited dessert options, though. Will definitely dine here again!
Amazing Service and Food! Visited from North Carolina and the owner made sure we had a great experience. She was right on the dot with wine recommendations and the food was flawless! Love it will definitely be back to try their Paella !
Marcela's Tapas & Wine Bar is such a gem! I came here for a quick bite with my boyfriend and ended up blown away by how good everything was. The meatballs were tender and packed with flavor, the croquetas were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy inside, and the seafood paella was a standout platter it was rich, fresh, and full of amazing flavor. The portions were great, the vibe is cozy and inviting, and it’s the perfect spot to relax, sip, and enjoy delicious tapas. The owner was so warm and attentive, and it’s clear she takes pride in serving authentic, delicious food with amazing customer care. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!
We came here for Tapas Tuesday and it was delicious!! The staff was amazing and there was even an artist painting a mural on the wall during dinner which was such a cool experience. All the tapas we tried were incredible but I highly recommend the croquettes! The orange wine they had was very good. Can’t recommend this place enough! They also do paella on weekends which I will definitely be going back for to try.
I had a wonderful experience at this wine and tapas spot. The atmosphere is warm and very inviting, perfect for enjoying good food and conversation. The place feels cozy yet lively, and the staff make the experience even better. Marcela is always attentive, making sure everything is just right, and the rest of the team is equally friendly and professional. Their service is genuinely outstanding—super approachable and cheerful, which adds so much to the overall vibe. A great place to relax, enjoy excellent wine and tapas, and feel well taken care of. Highly recommended! 🍷✨
Great atmosphere and the Paella fulfilled a craving and had me wanting MORE. Definitely coming back another time. On top of that everything seems to be made in house it's ALL so good, if you get the chorizo make sure you ask for a spoon to try out the whipped cream and chocolate sauce that come with it. they're really good
Only great things to say!! The owner Jess is an absolute joy! Great energy and is a jack of all trades! She was the hostess, chef and waitress!! Super hero!! Food summery: Ordered the thinly sliced tomatoes: great! The grand charcuterie board!! Great size for the price!! Replenished bread, amazing The garlic shrimp: tasty and very generous again with the portions. My mom had a little fun a got 3 glasses of wine!! What a hoot!! If you value your dollar, want to support a small hard working business and have a great time with great food, I Highly recommend !!!
I was craving a good sangria when I stumbled upon this place. It ended up being a hidden gem! The SERVICE was excellent - so attentive and friendly. All of the TAPAS we ordered were amazing - patatas bravas, croquetas, pan con tomate y jamón, tortilla, albóndigas (meatballs). I felt transported back to Spain! I will definitely be back!
Food was delicious! Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. They were generous at the end to offer us complimentary shots of liqueur, although we politely declined them since I am pregnant. They should only offer those to people who already ordered alcoholic drinks. I think alcohol is a sensitive topic and they should be more cautious of that. Other than that, service was great.
Excellent place if you are looking for Spanish food, I lived in Spain a few years ago an I could easily feel that I was back there with every bite! My favorites were the garlic shrimp, the croquets, the chorizo al vino, the patatas bravas and the eggplants Marcella’s but overall everything was amazing! And the prices are also great!
This place is amazing! I love the cozy vibes I got while being there. I had the lamb skewers over salad, along with a strawberry margarita. The owners, Juan and his wife whose name I didn’t get, run the place as well. She is the chef and he’s the front man taking care of your drinks and dishes. The place is named after their daughter, Marcela. They have been open for almost a year. I love this story. I will return to have more of the “meatball” whose name Juan told me, but I will never be able to pronounce. It has beef, sauce, spices, potato and a crust that was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted!!! Do yourself a favor and ask for this!!! It was complimentary, so it wasn’t on my bill, but just ask for this by my description or show them this picture!!! You will LOVE IT!!!
When you walk in the ambiance will most likely hit on what you’re looking for but the food was ok…. The pan tumaca(?) came out 30 minutes or more after ordering and it was soggy and lacked flavor. The eggplant hummus thing came 45 min after it was ordered but this was delicious ..saved the place even though it was only like 4 eggplant chips. The sangria pitcher did not get me and my friend lit but I felt it. I ordered a plate and it never came. I asked for the check and the guy took 10 min to give me the change. Place was decently busy but wait time is not justified. If you’re not finicky about wait time and mid priced/quality food I think it’s a decent place to visit.
Food was actually trash. You could tell things are re-heated. Super salty, tapas bar but portion are incredibly small smaller than usual. The live music was too loud for such a small place. I made reservations because I had to online but it was empty and I was seated right way. The 4. something stars online is a lie. Save ur money and time.
I’m confused by the high ratings. I’ve been wanting to check out this place for a while now and I’m disappointed by how bad it was. First off - They don’t have happy hour on Fridays and the website should be revised to reflect so. They were out of beer and served our hard ciders in a champagne flute. The food took 30 mins to prepare and were very small portions. They also couldn’t remove ingredients from the dish I ordered which, makes me think it’s reheated in the back. To top it off the lights kept flickering off and the credit card system was down and it took awhile to figure out payment. Sadly won’t be returning :(
A cute romantic eatery BUT insanely overpriced. Avoid this place. Each dish is a small appetizer which is to be expected since it’s a tapas, however, they are $15+ a piece. For example a small dish of diced potatoes which amounted to about one half a potato was $15. They tasted ok but should have been about $5-8 a pc max. We had 3 small dishes as a snack and were no way full yet we paid over $60.
Horrible service. If I can give this place zero stars I would… I made a reservation two weeks in advance for a birthday dinner with 9 guests. One of our guests uses a wheelchair, so I called multiple times to confirm they could accommodate us. It took several attempts just to get someone on the phone, and when I finally reached someone last Tuesday, I was told everything would be fine. I called again to double-check, only to be told the night before the dinner that they actually could not accommodate the wheelchair and that it might not even fit through the door. No updates, no courtesy call, nothing. This is extremely disappointing. A business should be able to communicate properly, answer their phone, and give accurate information especially when accessibility is involved. I am upset and frustrated by how unprofessional and inconsiderate this experience was. They need to do much better.
