Spanish Pavilion Restaurant: A Culinary Journey Through Authentic Spanish Tapas

Excellent food great value full bar, plenty of parking.

Amazing food and even better service! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The shrimp appetizer was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the paella was incredible!! rich, comforting, and loaded with seafood. The staff truly made the experience special. Everyone was so attentive, kind, and genuinely sweet. A huge shoutout to Joe, who was AMAZING!! friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Fantastic food, wonderful service, and an experience I can’t wait to repeat. Highly recommend!

Michael Fernandez Thank you, Thank you. There’s a saying “you have not because you ask not” I honestly didn’t think that he would consider my request, but I asked and he and his staff went over & beyond. I asked for a party menu but I only had 7 people. He honored it, and everything was excellent. No one in my group complained about anything. The appetizer, atmosphere, main course, drinks , hospitality was amazing. Thank you so much Every item was delicious Looking forward to exploring more Angela Arrington

Matt our server was friendly, professional and maintained constant follow up with our table. The food was delicious, I make my business to go there every time I'm in town. The atmosphere is quaint, great for catch up with friends. Easy parking and very easy to access from route 21, 280 and downtown Newark. Great sangria!

Spanish Pavillion Restaurant feels like stepping into a local neighborhood classic — most guests are older regulars, creating a calm and nostalgic atmosphere. We started with warm bread, perfectly soft inside, and two solid house drinks that were not overly sweet. The oysters were okay — not particularly sweet or briny, but fresh enough. We ordered the pork chop and their signature lobster seafood paella. The pork chop was huge (thanks to the friendly server who warned us), slightly dry but flavorful. The paella rice was tasty and soaked with broth, lobster and scallops were fresh, while the shrimp and mussels were less impressive.

They a great lunch menu. It includes a soup or salad. Making this place a great find for the price. It’s a bit dark inside. But they have a patio in the summer evenings. The server was very kind and refilled our water without us requesting it. The garlic shrimp was very good and a good size portion. My companion said the bacalao was good. I’ll take his word for it. The included soup hit the spot on a cool day.

The Arroz con pollo is good, but the mariscada’s lobster and other seafood is not fresh.

The best restaurant in New Jersey. Food is amazing ate lunch and dinner. So good had to come back. The owner is all about peace and love. Wonderful atmosphere great conversation. With the best working staff together as a family.
