The food is excellent here, especially the octopus and potato tots. Everything is really tasty but the portions are quite small so you need to order a few dishes to feel satisfied.

We went for my birthday just five of us. It was such a great time and the food was amazing and on point. The servers were so attentive and helpful and thank you to the manager on duty and hostess for all the assistance with our wait. It's always such a great time here and the most amazing food!

Comfortable long bar seating in the middle of the bustling Spanish Market; great choice of tapas (though a bit in the expensive side) and wine. Everything we tried was great: sensational liquid olives (loved them so much we had to order another round); very tasty and tender octopus; fresh and flavorful scallop crudo; wonderful crunchy bread and a mildly sweet flan to top it all off.

Simply Delicious! I went with a Spaniard and he said that the flavors were completely true to his country

My friends and I had an amazing gastronomic experience at La Barra! The tapas were all delicious, and the croquetas completely won my heart and stomach. Absolutely delightful! We were warmly welcomed and perfectly attended by the friendly and kind Andrés, who recommended a wonderful rose wine that made everything even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

Andres was great, wonderful, and he guide us to the best dinner that he had for a very very long time. If you do not know this place, come and check it out, I promise it will be the greatest decision ever!

Tapas heaven. Liquid olive an expensive. Salty but texture exceptional. Pan con tomato good. Jamon super expensive. Churros seems but soggy by the time received. Can be bit chaotic this place... as menu different stalls. Noise levels and all. But vibe lively. Works both ways. Happy hours weekdays and Wednesday for bottle.

While exploring Mercado Little Spain in Hudson Yards, the posters promoting the liquid olive caught my eye. I love olives and a liquid olive sounded just like something I wanted to try. La Barra is a restaurant and bar in the middle of Mercado Little Spain. Since it was happy hour, it was a busy, but luckily, I was able to snag a seat at the bar. After taking a Quick Look at La Barra’s menu, I decided to order a cocktail to go with the liquid olives, which had me so intrigued! They were delicious! A burst of olive flavor immediately fills your mouth like a savory explosion. You get 2 liquid olives for $6. They gave other appetizers and entrees on the menu,which is be open to trying on my next visit. If you have a taste for some sangria and Spanish tapas, you should consider stopping by La Barra for a little slice of Spanish-inspired delight.

We ordered sangria, Spanish beer, mussels, deep-fried potatoes, fried calamari, and octopus. The octopus was divine; I highly suggest it. For a dessert, we got churros. The only negative is that it is hard to talk because of the noise.

We decided to try this place after seeing some people's dishes, and it was an excellent decision. We tried the octopus gallega , served with creamy mashed potatoes, the octopus cooked to perfection, delicious. We also ordered red tuna with caramelized onions, and it was absolutely amazing; we loved it. We tried the non-alcoholic wine, which tasted very similar to wine. I can't drink alcohol, so I was happy. The service was excellent. The waiter was attentive, gave us recommendations, and explained the dishes perfectly. The flavor has the heart of Spain.

Food was delicious, go for the tantalizing Liquid Olives and don’t be surprised if you must have a 2nd order. Roasted onions are deliciously balanced, crispy cod fritters are traditional and well executed, mussels were so plump I should have asked where they were from, served with their delicious crusty bread and were to full for more dishes, although wanted to hang out and had the churros which were skinny and sweet ending. The wines by the glass were uninspired, wish they had more interesting wine options. Super convenient place for dinner before going to The Shed.

I really liked the food here and tried my dish and my friend's dishes. The octopus was wonderful and I could taste the olive oil on it. One friend ordered the pork check and the meat was very soft and tender. I'll say the tortilla de patatas was the most simple dish. The only downside is that the dishes are very small and you'll have to order 2 or 3 dishes per person to get satisfied. The service was friendly and the ambience is nice 👍

Convenient sit down option to sample food from many of the other stalls. The food is good, though pretty expensive for the small portions. I especially enjoyed the meatballs and the octopus. The serrano ham was pretty good, but the portion was tiny. The fried squid was a bit mushy and can be skipped.

well I think this is an overall great restaurant! Very fast service!! I love the little area here! Croquettes are FANTASTIC it’s so colourful it’s like a rainbow of beautiful flavours combined into a harmony! The mushroom rice was super funky for my taste some may like it but it tasted like a James brown song to me!

Reminiscing our trip to Spain, we found this little gem. The tapas were all great but the winner is the lemon soda beer!

The spinach salad was very good. Everything else was good, but nothing extraordinary. Simple food in a casual setting. Their hot sauce made the dishes slightly tastier. Spacious and clean bathrooms close by!
