The food came out cold, and when I asked about it, it was just microwaved--not even properly reheated. I still ended up eating cold food, which made the whole meal pretty unappetizing. On top of that, the portions were super stingy. I ordered mangu with eggs, salami, and cheese--got one tiny slice of cheese. Seriously? Same thing with the pork--barely any on the plate. For the price, I expected a decent serving, but it felt like they were cutting corners on everything. The vibe from the person serving wasn't great either--just didn't feel welcome at all. Save your money and go somewhere that actually serves hot food and isn't so cheap with the portions. I won't be back

I am vegetarian, so here are my thoughts on the new items. Ensalade Verde: is the absolute best salad in the city. in the country even. absolute must get. it's big, however me and my sister still refuse to split it. definitely shareable though if you're not as greedy. Patatas Bravas: slightly different iteration than their past one. I think it's actually better. you get more potato's, more sauce, and the sauce just tastes slightly better but who knows. always ordered when we go Brussels Catalana: technically there is blue cheese in this, however, I am a certified blue cheese hater and I had no idea. so don't be turned off by that. first time having this dish and it was solid. good portion, well coated, right texture. will get again Pimientos De Pardon: shishito peppers were good, decent amount of them. I think everyone had three and we had 4 people. wouldn't get again just because there are other things more worth it but still great. Unknown Cauliflower dish: i'm not seeing it on the menu, so maybe it was just removed, but it was essentially a cauliflower gratin dish. I wouldn't get again. it was good, but lacked salt and was basically just a cauliflower in some heavy cream with a tiny amount of bread crumbs. Valenciana Paella: this has meat in it obviously, but I did eat around the pieces. if you're vegetarian and don't mind your food touching the meat, it's very easy to pick around. all the meat pieces are medium sized. This was very good, the rice was amazing, the watercress was so good. presentation was great. worth the time and money especially if you eat meat Ganache de Chocolate: pretty good. honestly interested in trying the rice pudding next. or just ordering another patatas bravas for dessert. shareable between two people. Passion fruit mocktail: MUST GET for all non drinkers! expensive? yes. worth it? yes. taste is great and it's also a nice thing to have if you're with others who drink and don't want to be left out. it's set up just like an alcoholic drink would be.

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.

I would probably not order the cod fritters again as it didn't really do anything for me, and would get the patatas bravas with extra sauce.

Unfortunately it's probably not a great spot for groups bigger than 4 just given the size but perfect for a casual date night or catch up dinner with a few friends!

Now the food... As soon as they bought the first appetizer (morcillas) we felt the island culinary richness. The alcapurrias, OMG as perfect as they can be and if you know what this are, you understand the complexity of getting it right, the Rellenos de Papas, different on the outside but the same rich savory flavor. Pernil (pork) was moist, not greasy and well-seasoned, tasteful cuerito. Default on the side was the Mayo-ketchup for the salad, how more Puerto Rican could it get? The tostones were fried to perfection with mashed garlic on top. The chuletas smelled like chicharron just the right amount of tenderness, flavorful with the crispy edges. The arroz blanco, habichuelas and carne guisada (rice & beans with beef stew) bring back our mothers and grandmothers' taste to the mouth. Cuajito, now we knew we had to take our hats off for the authentic incredibly good taste. Is not a place for selfies but to eat excellent traditional Puerto Rican food, so if you're in Philadelphia or nearby I highly recommend you stop here and get the true taste of Puerto Rico!!!!!
