    When I saw this I knew I was in trouble lol but so delicious I was expecting a meal for one lol
    Jose F.

    As an over the road truck driver is hard finding spanish food but OMG I just hit the jackpot. I thought I was ordering a meal for one to when to my surprise I got a family meal but is like striking gold, now instead of enjoying it for one day, I get to enjoy for three. I order the white rice, beans which were so delicious it remind me of mi abuelita habichuelas, maduros [yellow plantains] that were made to perfection and pollo [chicken] got an entire chicken which OMG so delicious and very well seasoned, tengo una jaltera brutal wow I am definitely ordering from here again when I am in town thru UberEats again since I can't get any closer with a big semi. Thank You, Gracias...

    The food was nothing memorable but not horrible either. I have been there twice and both times the restaurant was empty and we were the only patrons. The restaurant is in a "rough around the edges" area..which I'm ok with however there is not private parking. Will I go back? Probably, but I'm not rushing there either.. just meh..

    Terrible service. When ever I go here they always take for ever to complete my order and usually don't have the items in the menu.

    Why go off-roading in the Barrens when Camden's right across the river? Be sure to take pockmarked…read moreand cratered River Avenue, bypassing valleys of decayed industrial might, passing hills of bustling auto shops until your Civic reaches the corner shop, beside the old ice house, with the wide window lit with neon and the awning colored the red white and blue of Puerto Rico and listing half a dozen fine entrees. Is this Camden's version of El Barrio? The space has nothing homey about it, it's just a big room full of cheap-cushioned chairs and different-sized tables. The steam table is the main attraction, massive and brooding, a stainless steel ENIAC, its slots filled with Hispanic stews, starches and staples we have grown to know and love. Primarily take-out, the steady flow of customers provides a nice slice o' South Jersey livin': you got the mechanic, the mail man, the construction worker - surprised to see no cops, but every man for himself and god against all in Camden, NJ! And the food's as hearty and wholesome (and sometimes even a little 'over-proportioned') as El Borinqueno's customers. Order the pollo a brasa and the stout grandma behind the counter takes a serrated blade to a bronzed chicken, tanning in a bin with her girlfriends, cleaving off a Fred Flintstone mallet of moist leg and thigh covered in a light spice rub. The same blade makes a special guest appearance when one orders the roast pork, wherein the stout grandma nonchalantly hacks sizeable hunks of flesh off a massive pork wad. The pork looks and tastes great, with a golden, crisped skin shielding the glistening layer of fat covering the bashful white meat. The skin's the best part - a moist snap crackle pop of pig, not burnt but "cooked to perfection". All meats come with a side of thick red beans and a choice of starch - fluffy white rice, salty yellow rice sprinkled with a shower of tiny pigeon peas and green peppers, and some sort of fried-looking rice. But, I'm just mad about saffron - there's nothing like yellow rice cooked right! I surely don't have the acumen or the patience for it, but someone here definitely earned her chops. Be sure to flood every item on your plate with lots of garlic sauce and vinegary hot sauce. Obviously, the restaurant isn't South Beach Diet certified, and I'd avoid the beach if I ate here too often. You can even order deep fried empanadas for a "snack" - they're okay, a wide variety (pizza, cheesesteak, chicken, shrimp, beef). The beef empanada is stuffed with a beefy paste tasting like bolognese. Which is pretty decent, and worth wearing that tread mill out for!

    Enjoyed my happy hour tapas experience here. Opted for the bar to try some of favorite tapas,…read moretortilla, shishito peppers, and the garlic shrimp. The tortilla was the best, shishito peppers were nicely charred with crunchy finishing salt. Shrimp were good, about 6 to an order but a tad overcooked for me. Happy hour red sangria was tasty with plenty of freshly chopped fruit. Bartender offered efficient pleasant service. Dining room was filling up despite the early dining hour. Amada has been on must try list since it was closed for holidays last year when I had visited the city. So glad it was open, a delicious meal that exceeded expectations. Gracias!

    78/100 Amada is…read morecertainly a good date night restaurant with its polished interior, small bites, and intimate lighting. However I found it to be unsuitable to dining with a large group due to it being very loud and crowded. I'd recommend the tasting set if you want to be full when you leave without breaking the bank. --- I dined at Amada on Friday night with a party of 8. Typical of a Friday night in Philly, Amada was packed. It was incredibly loud, which meant you couldn't hear anyone past those seated directly next to you. Our server, Alexander, was excellent. Since the whole restaurant was fully seated, service was a little slow (2 hours for our meal-not tasting menu), but his attitude and friendliness were exceptional. The tapas (small bites) are meant to be shared, meaning it will come out at different times if you all order individually. The staff plated nuts separately so that we could still share while being mindful of our party's dietary restriction. We ordered numerous tapas try for the table: (1) chorizo Bilbao, (2) piquillos (crab-stuffed peppers), (3) tortilla española (Spanish omelette), (4) espãrragos blancos (asparagus), (5) pimientos de padrõn (shishito peppers), (6) setas (mushrooms), (7) torreznos (crispy pork belly), and (8) chicken skewers. Overall, everything came out smaller than we expected for the price. (Not too upset since it's a $$$/$$$$ restaurant.) The flavor of every dish was tasty, if not all a bit salty. The standouts for us were the: (2) piquillos, (3) tortilla española, and (8) chicken skewers. I really enjoyed the crab filling of the piquillos, the balance of flavors in the tortilla, and the juiciness of the chicken. In the end, we racked up quite a bill and were still hungry afterwards. Personally, Amada is out my price range, but everything was quite flavorful. For others, I would recommend dining at Amada with smaller parties (6 or less) to accommodate the loud ambiance. Amada is definitely better suited for a romantic date spot or small gathering. For better value, the tasting set may make more sense.

    fun spot for drinks & tapas!…read more i don't usually like chains, but i can appreciate barcelona wine bar for its good vibes! if it was closer, i could definitely see myself here more with the girls in the summer. i came here with some friends before a noah kahan show due to its proximity to the BSL, and it was a good time! my favorite dish we had was the patatas bravas -- they were so good that i put in a second order. i can appreciate a good charcuterie board, but the other tapas we had weren't very memorable. i wanted to try the paella here, but ended up passing since our waiter told us that they take a while to prepare. in retrospect, i'm glad i didn't order the paella, the table next to us got one and it did not look very impressive. i wouldn't say the food here is particularly memorable (other than the patatas bravas lol), but i think you come for the vibes. my friend said that service is notably good as well, though it was a bit slow when we were there. we probably wouldn't have minded the slow service if we didn't have a concert to catch. overall, a solid spot!

    Patatas bravas (Salsa Brava, Garlic Aioli) $8.5 - was afraid this might be too salty but it wasn't…read more The aioli was good to dip the bread in as well Rainbow trout (Basil Purée, Aleppo Pepper) $14 - favorite! The basil puree was light but flavorful. The trout was soft, easy to cut, could eat a whole thing myself Chicken thigh (Aji Verde) $10.5 - a little difficult to cut but not bad. Wouldn't mind ordering again but would likely try something else since there's so many options Moruno lamb loin (Asparagus Purée) $14.5 - least favorite. Difficult to cut. A little oily Spiced beef empanadas (Red Pepper Sauce) $8.5 - a little spice, soft, not greasy. Red pepper sauce was the best part of this. Would get again Albondigas (Spiced Meatballs in Jamón-Tomato Sauce) $9.5 - soft, sauce good to dip in the bread One of the managers stopped by our table to check how everything was. We appreciate that he came down to our eye level to talk to us. Little things like that makes a big difference.
