    Sautéed Garlic Shrimp
    Lisa K.

    Great food and drinks! Cocktails on happy hour until 7pm which is excellent. Definitely got busy inside after 6pm. The garlic shrimp and meatballs were very tasty with the bread. Had the octopus too which could have been charred a bit more. The lavender margarita was refreshing and delicious. Service was quick and my water glass was always full. They have a vibrant bar, patio area and indoor seating so plenty of options.

    Great place for Spanish tapas! I went on a Monday afternoon around 2pm so it was not crowded and sat in their cute patio. The food was delicious. They have a lunch special - Pick two courses for $17 which was such a great deal. Must try!

    Stopped by during happy hour (4-7 pm on weekdays) and had a great time. We sat on the pet-friendly patio, which made for a really nice atmosphere. The ceviche was incredible and reminded us of the amazing ceviche we had in Miami. We also ordered the steak paella , and the meat and rice were cooked perfectly and super juicy. Just note it takes a little longer to prepare, but it's worth the wait. Service and ambiance were top notch. We'll definitely be back.

    Grilled Octopus

    Bulla Gastrobar ~ What We Ordered ~ - Grilled Octopus ($22) - Patatas Bravas ($10.50) - Sautéed Garlic Shrimp ($15) - Ham Croquettes ($11) - Crispy Calamari ($15) - Seafood Paella ($48) ~ Review ~ Bulla Gastrobar is a Spanish restaurant located at Legacy West in Plano, offering a wide variety of tapas - small, shareable dishes that are the traditional way food is served in Spain. After falling in love with Spanish cuisine on my trip to Spain, I was on the hunt for a spot here that could compare to the authentic flavors I experienced abroad. Bulla definitely delivered. I was able to order many of the same dishes I had in Spain, and they did an amazing job capturing those authentic flavors. My favorite dishes were the grilled octopus and the patatas bravas. The octopus was incredibly flavorful, and the mashed potatoes underneath paired with it perfectly. Patatas bravas is always a must for me - I love the aioli on top. The paella is a large portion, so I'd recommend ordering it if you're dining with a group. The ham croquettes were also delicious and crispy! The shrimp was good, but not a standout in my opinion. I especially enjoyed the sauces served with the calamari - they complemented the dish really well. Overall, I highly recommend checking this spot out if you're craving authentic Spanish tapas in Plano! ~ Rating: 9/10 ~

    Seafood paella
    Marie P.

    The BEST Spanish food that I've had in Texas. I recently went to Spain and the tapas here were just as good! We made a dinner reservation and were promptly seated. The atmosphere is great and lively with a dressy casual vibe, perfect for date night! The patatas bravas and jamon serrano were delicious and filled with flavor. We ordered the seafood paella which had a good variety of mixed seafood. There were 2 of us and the paella could've fed at least 4; the leftovers tasted just as good! The churros with chocolate sauce & dulce de leche were so light and airy, I could've easily eaten 10 of them by myself. Definitely some of the best churros I've had! Drinks were also great per our server's recommendations. Overall amazing experience and would love to come back!

    Iberian Pork Bowl
    LaToya A.

    Came for lunch with a friend. The service was quick and the food was good. I did the pick 2 and ordered the lentil soup and pork bowl. Both were good. I almost wanted a sauce option for the bowl but it was still good without it.

    Came to Texas for my birthday weekend, and decided to try this place out for dinner in Legacy West. Our friends and I were not disappointed -- everything tasted amazing, fresh, and the service was exceptional -- with our water filled frequently. We probably overstayed our reservation, but we weren't told to leave. Thank you BG for a great evening!

    Salmon Carpaccio
    Sean C.

    Was expecting more but it was a good deal for the lunch special and a healthy lunch. The salmon carpaccio was ok but probably wouldn't get it again. The paella bowl was good, but wish the rice was better. Chicken had good flavor but a few pieces were a little dry.

    Restaurant week drinks  (lemongrass collins & lavender margarita)
    Allennette A.

    Amazing tapas! My boyfriend and I popped in for a last-minute date night, and even though the place was bustling, the service was on point. Drinks: I ordered the Lavender Margarita while he went for the Lemongrass Collins--both were delicious, refreshing, and a little stronger than they looked (not a bad thing!). Tapas highlights: The Huevos Bulla, ceviche de jalapeño, and montaditos were standouts--flavorful, well-balanced, and perfect for sharing. I particularly surprised about the montaditos. I don't usually like sweet beef, but the sauce or jelly worked really well! I tried the arroz caldoso. It came out piping hot and fresh, which I appreciated, though it was too salty for my taste. I brought the rest home, but fair warning--it doesn't reheat as well. We ordered the churros for dessert and they really hit the spot. Overall, this spot nails the drinks and tapas, and I'd come back in a heartbeat just for those!

    Oh, My Stars! Where do I begin?!?!? This place was amazing. Out server, Jasmine, was welcoming, on point and gave us some recommendations on her favorites (we asked). This has a sheik feel with a casual vibe but make no mistake, the food is top notch. I have been to Spain and this fabulous little find brings those wonderful natural flavors to the great state of Texas. We stuck with drinks and the Tapas on this go around and it was more than enough for 2. If you want to share tapas only, you can order like we did and have enough for 4 people, to be honest. We started with the Spanish Torilla which was perfectly cooked with potatoes and onions and served on a wooden board. It just took me back to Madrid. We also had the shrimp in garlic sauce, the steak chimichurri, the the figs wrapped in bacon stuffed with manchego (you heard me right, stuffed with manchego), the croquettes made with a beautiful bechamel, and fried artichokes (these we our least favorite ad the only thing I wouldn't recommend b/c they were a bit soggy). So, I could go into each one of these but all I have to say is flavor-town! All of these dishes were made authentically and just as stunning as they were delicious. Because it was my friend's birthday, we did opt for two Bon Bon cafe's and the Churros with chocolate and caramel sauces on the side. Just amazing. To my surprise, there is a Bulla Gastrobar here in South Florida in downtown Miami. We will definitely be going to try it out because if it's anything like the one in Texas, we are going to have one heck of a meal! Can't wait to try the octopus! Thank you for a wonderful evening, Bulla!

    Mimosa Tower
    Shay S.

    Most of the food was good but overall lacked salt or flavour (the potatoes, waffle). The flan was so good and the brioche dessert too. Our server was nice and friendly but seemed to forget about us a couple of times. As always, the sangrias were delicious. We also had a mimosa tower which was also so good. I loved the passion fruit syrup and the fresh fruits.

    I drove 50 minutes today to meet a former colleague so we could catch up. Traffic getting thru Dallas on a Saturday morning - you can imagine. And parking at Legacy Shops wasn't easy. But when I walked in the door at 11am and the place wasn't packed yet, I was so happy. I needed some attention. And we both got it. The decor is so beautiful, I felt very comfortable in this place immediately. The bright colors, the atmosphere, the different seating styles; take your pick. We were greeted nicely by the hostess and showed to a table but of course I picked another one, which didn't bother her at all, thank you. Our server Amanda greeted us promptly and explained the menu and made everything sound so yummy! I can't speak for the level of service when they are busy, but Amanda checked us very often, kept the food coming and made sure that we were pleased with our selections. She spoke to us, didn't rush us. We choose many dishes! and the sangria was so good - I normally am not a fan of sangria, so I chose the white and was pleasantly surprised - try it, you'll love it! You MUST try the serrano ham croquettes - an explosion of flavor in your mouth! They look like hush puppies but when you bite into them, it is soft and flavorful omgee. I loved them best of all. By the time they brought out the brunch paella (it takes a while to make), we were full and I only ate a couple of bites. We asked for doggie bags for the paella and Amanda asked if we'd like the potatoes also. We said sure, why not. We did order dessert after a bit - flan for my friend and I wanted the creme brulee. I wasn't crazy about it being served cold, I've only had it hot. It just seemed off. The manager happened to be walking by and saw that I had pushed it to the middle of the table after only a couple of bites. She asked me if I didn't like it. I said, no I didn't. She offered me something else instead, she was very kind. I appreciated her attention. I hated to leave, I could have stayed there for hours but needed to get home. Later, when I opened my bag and took out the 2 little boxes, I found 2 boxes of potatoes, no paella at all. I assume my friend received the paella. I wanted to cry! Only two bites (and we had split the $100+ bill,ha)... so in future, check your boxes before you leave a restaurant. I will have to see how I can get a paella from them way down here in Mesquite. Regardless, check out this place, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Good management is going on here!

    Loved this restaurant. Service was amazing. Ordered a top shelf skinny margarita. Totally worth it the octopus was delicious. The layout was gorgeous. With the light fixtures. Definitely a date night spot to check out.

I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together.

She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We kicked things off with drinks. I started with an espresso martini, and it was really, really good--smooth, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. For my second drink, I tried the smoked Old Fashioned from their holiday menu.

On the food and drink side, they carry Manhattan Project Beer Company's Half-Life, which is a big win and pairs exceptionally well with the French dip.

With a little more consistency at the front of house, this place easily moves from good to great.
