Located in lower level in Hudson Yards Mall...one feels like are traveling. Best to make reservations if possible otherwise there can be a wait especially at peak hours. Been here many times to eat at different hours... White Sangria is very good and highly recommend. All dishes are tapas.. Plenty of other beverage options as well along with non-alcoholic. As for the tapas...the one item that I have yet to make it on time is the planchadas as they only make 10 -12 a day and need to be there basically when they open to order. Most of the tapas are very good and highly recommend.. pan con tomate - very good and shareable empanadas come in a pair chicken croquetes boiled spanish octopus with mashed potatoes cod fish fritters - yum shrimp - very good Jose Andres chips & canned mussels - interesting...an acquired taste... patatas bravas - was just ok for me - not a hot sauce fan so spicy no bueno for me chicken paella - was ok Good to go with a group so that one can try more options.. They do have HH but check the days and times... La Barra participates with InKind so you get earn when you dine and pay there.. Mangia and have fun trying food. read more

La Barra is one of the sit down "restaurants" in Little Spain. Once you navigate the confusing setup and decide to eat here, the tapas are good! The scallops were the least impressive dish, not a lot of flavor or texture from the ceviche. But the entree dishes more than made up for it. The shrimp were delicious, really well prepared. And the mussels were my favorite part of the meal; so meaty and full of flavor. I would've loved a little more sauce, but the mussels on their own were excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you like tapas, plus you could always visit another booth in the cafeteria style setup if not! read more

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and grabbed a seat at the bar. The staff were friendly and warm. They have a decent number of vegetarian options which was nice to see. I had the cheese plate, gazpacho and pan demate. I also had a mocktail. Everything came out fast, hot and tasted great. The stools at the bar were comfortable to sit on. The sound level in the restaurant was a bit loud because the entire market is loud. read more

Came here for a happy hour. The happy hour is just drinks, they don't include food options. They do have good sangria! Had two glasses and it was delicious. The bad-- the food!!! It's mediocre Spanish tapas, and lacking in flavor!!! Also the lady attending us is rude and indifferent. She got an attitude when we asked questions about the menu. Other servers helped her, they're ok, but she's just something else. Just rude. Anyways, might come back for the drinks and nothing else. read more

After visiting much-vaunted Little Island and walking back to Hudson Yards via the Highline, we went to Mercado Little Spain for dinner, remembering a great meal we had there two years ago. This time we decided to try La Barra, a tapas restaurant. We ordered too much food. Between two people, four tapas are more than sufficient. Service was very good until our server went off shift and then we were sort of lost in the shuffle, it seemed. Several dishes we wanted were already out on this evening. So what we did order was Pan Con Tomate, Queso Manchego Curado, Ensalada de Espinacas, Patatas Bravas, Pulpo A La Gallega and Gambas Al Ajillo. The Pan Con Tomate was a half of loaf of toasted rustic bread loaf topped with a thin tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was luke-warm and this bread made soggy by the sauce was unappealing. The Queso Manchego Curado was sheep's cheese that came with crispy mini-sticks of bread and a sweet spread, maybe fig? This cheese board was good. The Ensalada de Espinacas was my favorite dish of the evening. This fresh and lively dish was spinach with toasted pinenuts, sherry dressing, raisins, bacon and shallots. The Ensalada de Espinacas would have been even better if they left out the bacon. I also really liked the Pulpo A La Gallega, which was slices of cooked octopus over mashed potatoes. I didn't really like the Patatas Bravas, which were cubes of roasted potatoes topped with a couple of sauces. The dish had an overwhelming paprika flavor. If you like shrimp, I think you would like the Gambas Al Ajillo, which were shrimp in a olive oil/vinegar sauce. Odd, I have eaten and enjoyed shrimp my entire life, but will not eat shrimp anymore. That's perhaps because of a couple recent unpleasant shrimp experiences down in Virginia. While we like Jose Andres' Mercado Little Spain and its lively and colorful atmosphere, I don't feel La Barra is in the same league as, say, Jaleo. read more

Little Spain at Hudson Yard! Wow, so like Eataly but make it Spain inspired. It's in the basement level of Hudson yard, pass the Switzerland watch store, down the escalator and opens to food hall. There are plenty of choices, from counter seats, to tables near the vendor, sweets and savory all mixed in. I was definitely hooked on the "Jamon Leg"! So beelined to the stall for the Spanish version of "ham sandwich". Toasted skinny baguette and Jamon... with a thin tomato spread - delicious. But WOOZA, $18. Is quite a sticker shock for me. Just a sandwich. Nothing extra. No drinks or chips. Literally a ham sandwich for $18. That's Hudson Yard for ya. I also got flan from the dessert shop and it was just OK. Didn't love it, it was way too sweet and I didn't end up finishing the flan tart... which costs $8. My lunch was quite pricey... but I did enjoy the sandwich tho. So basically: Quality. Yes. Value. No. (For tourist absolutely yes). read more

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge fan of chef Jose Andres. My husband and I have eaten at each of his West Coast locations. On a trip to see my cousin debut on Broadway, my East Coast bestie and I visited each NYC restaurant operated by him. Jose Andres opened his first restaurant in Washington DC, the year I moved to California. He was a young chef in his twenties at the time. His restaurant Julio was one of my last meals in the district but not my last supper over the years. I love molecular gastronomy but he uses more traditional methods here. Our first night in the city, we ate at Lina inside the Mercado Little Spain This is a little piece of Spanish heaven in Hudson Yards. There are many food choices within the market. Jumbo empanadas, paella meals, and a Spanish wine bar to name a few things you could pick up or indulge in on the spot. Jose Andres sells a few items for take away, including; olive oil potatoes chips, Spanish sauces and paella kits to make your own meal at home. You can receive a $25 dollar credit on your first visit here, by signing up on the Mercado website online. A little wine, a couple appetizers and a few treats for the hotel were part of the night. I only wish we got to the ice cream before the booth closed. The service within the market was first class and everything we tried was delicious as expected. A tapas must do. #MercadoLittleSpain #HudsonYards #JoseAndres #Tapas #NYC read more

I made a quick stop to satisfy my cravings for gazpacho and croquetas! They got me a table right away, and the service was super fast with a friendly server. The gazpacho was awesome--so fresh and just the right balance. I was hoping to get the classic croquetas, but they only had chicken and one with seafood, if I remember right. It was okay, but there was way too much chicken inside, making it pretty filling and not as soft as the usual ones. Still it was good and I'll be back next time I'm in NYC. read more

La Barra at Mercado Little Spain - Spanish Near Me - New York, New York

Mercado Little Spain tries to recreate the atmosphere of walking thru a Spanish public market and in some ways succeeds. They've coalesced about a dozen vendors in the basement level of Hudson Yards Shops serving a variety of Spanish foods and selling a handful of better known Spanish gifting pantry staples like Vincens Turron nougat and chocolates*. The directory as of January 2025 includes Qué Sweet! (desserts--cakes, petit gateaus, and ice cream), Bar Manolo (pressed sandwiches and sweet pastries), Lola's Greens (salad), Little Spain (paella), Mr. Lopez' Burgers and Bikinis (burgers), Jamones (Spanish ham and cheeses), Churros, Bravas (spicy fried potatoes), Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish omelette), Bar Celona (bar and tapas), Vinos (wine bar). Spanish Diner, Leña, La Barra round out the restaurant list. The food is decent though somewhat limited in menu and drink options. They have a lot of the more typical items: jamon sandwiches, red vermouth, patatas bravas, tortilla, jamon and queso, olives, churros. It's be nice to have some more extensive variety in vermouths. They have a decent happy hour with sangria, wine, a few cocktails, vermouth and beer 4-8pm. Otherwise pretty pricey compared to Spain, though understandable considering shipping prices and comparable to NYC prices. Seating is spread out throughout the space, with a large central area with the most tables. Most spots are self service meaning you're ordering at the counter, picking up, finding seats, and bussing your own tables. The entrance to form the mall above unfortunately looks a bit like an afterthought, I think they'd be better served by a view directly into that level or at least a better presentation of the space between the two escalators instead of basically an empty area. *which makes sense since the Albert Adria who is part of the group of founders of this location, having running collaborations with Vincens. read more

The concept is really fun. A giant food hall with restaurants , bars and kiosks , all Spanish . We sat at the bar and had sangria for happy hour . It was very tasty . We had some croquettes and empanadas. They came really fast and were nice and crispy. Service was great. It was a Monday and pretty crowded so I bet it's reselling jamming on a night they have a concert at Hudson Yards. read more

I wanted to try the blood sausage. I have been obsessed with blood sausage after my trip to Spain. The blood sausage here was good, but not as good as the ones in Spain. Also, they only gave me five little pieces which was a little disappointing. It came with two large eggs and fries. I feel like I had to fill my stomach up with fries and eggs and was still hungry. I wish there were more sausages. The sauce for the blood sausages was interesting. I think I would have liked it better without it. The sauce went better with the fries and the eggs. All in all, I don't think I would come back to this place next time I am in NYC. read more

This is conveniently located in Hudson Yards walking distance from Penn station which is why we came here. My friend and I met up here on a Sunday, and even at around 4 the wait for a table was about 40 minutes. The food is mostly the same everywhere. We waited to sit to be more comfortable but were unorthodox and went to get a churro with chocolate before eating dinner. The chocolate was really good dark chocolate, the churro not as fresh as I liked. They also have random things to buy like really good looking Spanish olive oil, but I didn't buy it because it had tourist trap prices at $35 for a small bottle. The sit down restaurant food was good if not a little pricey. We asked for extra bread and they charged us $3 for 3 small extra pieces. The octopus was very good and well flavored. The garlic shrimp was also good. The oysters were wonderfully briney and fresh. Overall good fun spot just a little over priced. read more

We sat at the bar and had a great time! Wednesdays offer half-priced bottles of wine, which was a nice bonus. Our bartender, Fernando G., was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the gambas al ajillo ($19.50), which were absolutely delicious, and paired them with a bottle of Muga white wine, which was excellent. Overall, a great experience--I'd definitely come back! read more

This Jose Andres creation is wonderful and great to roam around the lower level of Hudson Yards and get a bit of Spain, but I just couldn't give it 5 stars as there were a couple of items that we ordered that were kind of a flop. It's cool that the mercado (market in Spanish) are all little stalls where you purchase a Spanish tapas item like churros or jamón y queso or vino. We chose to sit at the bar and have a meal, which is pretty fun and our waiter was prompt and very nice. We ordered two non alcoholic sangrias, croquetas de pollo, pulpo a la Gallega, vieira pippirrana (spanish salad with scallops) and a basque cheesecake. Sangrias with no alcohol were not good, do not get this. Pulpo was very tender, good portion size and decent, I would recommend this dish and it is a known dish in Galicia, Spain. The croquetas were kind of soggy and mushy and I like them a bit more crunchy, so for $14, I would definitely pass on this dish. Spanish salad with scallops was ok and wasn't bad, but probably I would skip this as portions were very small and reminded me of a ceviche. I will say though the Basque cheesecake was delicious and recommend getting this. The only two dishes that I really enjoyed was the pulpo (but I have had better in Greek restaurants) and the Basque cheesecake. With taxes and tip, our meal came to close to $50/person. Not terrible but for some tapas and non alcoholic beverages, we would probably do better eating at the little kiosks. I'd definitely come back again to the mercadito as it is a fun place to check out and would come back to try the jamón y queso, churros ans bikinis/bocatas and have more Basque cheesecake. This is a great place to spend a rainy afternoon in the city. Nice addition the the city. read more

It's crazy to me that the rating is so low, everything we tried was delicious and in my opinion, warrants a return trip. I had a jamon iberico bocado and added manchego cheese and it had this lovely tomato spread. One of the best things I've ever eaten. The churros with hot chocolate, I would drink that hot chocolate on its own. I'm taking a star off because originally gave my order to the wrong person but honestly the bocado was so good I would return for that alone. read more

The salad at Lola's greens was really delicious however two ingredients were missing and the server did not tell us that's the salad would be missing those ingredients. Between ingredients where fennel and quince. Both of these were particularly intriguing and the main reason I ordered the dish. All that said, the salad was quite delicious particularly the red peppers and the manchego cheese. The potatoes bravas had a nice flavor, though perhaps nothing to write home about. The weak point of the meal was the paella, way way too salty which overpowered the complexity of the other flavors. And some of the rice bits were still crunchy inside. For these price points and they are high, one needs to expect better. read more

One of the best places we stumbled upon while on our way to the Vessel / Hudson Yards. Mercado Little Spain is set up like a food hall. Different restaurants / store front and open seating. We tried to get a little bit from each bar & kiosk - paella ($18 for a small plate), gambas al ajillo, pulpo con papas, patatas bravas, tapas, custard tarts, churros con chocolate, a glass of wine, & my favorite - the manchego & chorizo platter and the finger sandwich with jamon & queso mixto. Everything was delicious. Very festive & the music will make you want to dance. We all enjoyed our time here. Great service. Amazing food. read more

We stumbled upon this place while visiting Hudson Yards Christmas week. I knew about The Vessel and I've been wanting to see it for years. We decided to walk in the shopping center just to have a look see. I really wasn't planning to eat there, but just wanted to peek when I saw a sign for Jose Andres' Little Spain. Once down 2 escalators, it reminded me just a little of the Bocqueria market in Barcelona and I wanted to recall the memory. After walking around the various stalls in this food hall, and after some indecision, I wanted to order some tapas. It was crowded, and even when we staked out a seat at the bar (La Barra), we waited to be recognized so the counter could be wiped and we could order. We waited too long and, after a while and irritated, I called it quits. My husband could tell I was disappointed, and on the way out he spotted different seats right in front of a bartender and we plopped down. I'm glad we did. We had sangria (it was Sangria hour- $8 instead of $11), croquetas de pollo, calamari, and bread with olive oil. Everything was great, except the bread - it was hard (not crusty, just too hard) and not worth the $4. The calamari was crisp, not oily and flavorful even with no dipping sauce (although I would have liked some aioli or something as an option); the croquetas were hot, and the shredded chicken and cheese were just the right balance and texture; the sangria was tasty. I love to stumble upon the unexpected, so ultimately a win! read more

A nice find located in the Hudson Yards lower level. Indeed if you have visited Spain, you will see some familiar sights of large ham hanging in the window, big pans of paella and fresh seafood.

Service was fantastic, our food came out slow so they gave us free dessert and a free croquet on the house. The chocolate for the churros was really good, not too sweet but really rich in the cocoa flavor. The food itself was really good and seasoned well. My personal favorite was the pulpo. The potatoes were super tasty, they really honed in on the taste of it and the octopus was easy to chew. The sangria we got was really good, it barely had any taste of alcohol. It was dangerous to drink but we couldn't stop. read more

Happy Hour is a great time at Mercado and the best deal on drinks. It's quite the hot spot. There was a little bit of a wait for a seat and it was barely 6pm on a Friday. Luckily, the turnaround was not too long as folks were doing a quick snack and drink before moving onto their next evening activity. Happy Hour is Monday thru Friday from 4pm - 8pm which is a generous window of time. With seven choices on the list what covers wine, whisky and sangria - you can't go wrong. I ordered the New York Sour which was Old Forester Rye whiskey, lemon over a fruity red wine float. Not only was it refreshing for the summer, it was a pretty drink to have. My friends ordered a ginger mocktail and a sangria. Both were classic drinks. So good they each got two. The Two appetizers my party of three tried this visit: The sardines in olive oil - it was deboned and served butterfly style (literally one per person). Simple and delicious. Good acidity in this dish. I really enjoyed it. The grilled pulpo was so appetizing! It's a must try. So good I could've eaten the whole thing but myself.

Did someone say churros??? Yes, please! This place is super cool. Lots of options for Spanish food and drinks. The atmosphere is cool, with a real market feel.

Mercado Little Spain is a dining destination in Hudson Yards by Chef José Andrés. It's a multi-concept space complete with restaurants, kiosks, bars, and shops! My friends and I tried out three of their kiosks. Starting with the fresh salads and bowls at Lola's Greens, my favorite was the pisto bowl, with its comforting warm veggie stew that perfectly complemented the other ingredients in the bowl. At the Burgers & Bikinis kiosks, I learned that the bikinis in question refer to yummy grilled sandwiches. The burgers though were truly in a league of their own! Lastly, of course there's always room for dessert. It was so tough to choose a favorite from Que Sweet, but I have to go with the Spanish chocolate soft serve ice cream in an amazing cone-shaped pastry that's like a croissant-churro hybrid. Everything at the kiosks was pretty affordable! This is a great place to take your friends, family, or coworkers. read more

Little Spain is a great Spanish Food market in the basement of the shops at Hudson Yards. It's a mix of counters and stalls with specialties and a few sit down restaurants. While it's not as impossible to get a table at one of the restaurants as it was when Little Spain first opened it can still get crowded during peak meal hours so make a reservation if you want to go do one of the sit down spots. I wish there was more general seating because the sandwich counter is my favorite spot in the market. read more

I used to get gazpacho here - big bottle for ~16. Most recent time (Oct 2024) they've downsized the bottle for the same price and more importantly - clearly watered it down so it no longer tastes good. Honestly almost everything here has ridiculous markup. But if the quality is poor there is zero justification for giving them your money. Try Bouqueria or La Nacional instead for your Spanish food fix. read more

I love the ambience of this space and the sandwich shop by the exit is excellent. But this review is about the Paella serving I received there yesterday for $20. Basically a small portion of rice with 2 small pieces of chicken and a ton of salt. I was beyond disappointed at the size of the serving and the overwhelming salt in the dish. Please see my photo (and notice the lack of any seafood or sausage in the rice lol). Like so much of everyday life these days, prices are becoming or are already ridiculous for what you receive. read more

No one to seat us for several minutes. Another couple came and went to the bar to ask for someone to help us. We had been directed by the waiter to go to the hostess stand at the end of the restaurant. But, then had to walk back to the other side because the hostess was not going to the far end. It was irritating because we walked right past her and she said nothing. Once seated it got better. The waitress was friendly and set us up quickly. The food came out fast and was delicious. A Serrano ham and tomate sandwich on a quality mini baguette (but soft). The vibe is fun here, music is upbeat and just right for the outside patio. read more

Went for bottomless brunch. Food is okay, generally small portions with heavy filler foods/carbs. Not a ton of variety.

I was visiting Hudson Yards and found this restaurant downstairs. It is an open concept of different types of food from Spain. The entire floor is filled with Spanish wines, entrees, baked goods, and desserts. I was surprised from the variety of options to pick from. You could order cafe con leche in the morning and drink fine wines in the evening. After wandering for several minutes I decided to order the Barcelona chicken sandwich. This will have to do until I can go back to Barcelona again someday. The food was delicious and well cooked. I went to the bar after and ordered a glass of red wine to pair with my meal. The one downside I had was the heat. Everyone was cooking and rushing everywhere. This is located right next to the Vessel so you can expect large crowds of tourists everywhere. As expected, everything here is more expensive than usual. It cost me $15 for a chicken sandwich. I wish they would blast the air conditioning in order to create a more enjoyable atmosphere. read more
