Excellent service and authentic Spanish food. Next to my Tia's Paella, it is more than a presentable 2nd. Food you grow up with is always better :) We've been there before and will be there again. Thank you Sangria 71!

It's always a good time at Plancha. Went here with my sister for a Christmas dinner. Had the Italian board and kale salad. Both were fresh and delicious. Plancha has a nice welcoming vibe.
