Andalucia Tapas & Bar

Went to Andalucia for tapas before a show at Toyota Center.
Between happy hour and dinner is a very popular time.
We got the meat and cheese plate.  The toast with the brie like cheese went swimmingly well.  The sharp cheese with the prosciutto was delightful.
Here's the crab cakes, I liked the sauce and the crisp leeks on top.  Nice and crunchy.
This is the chicken skewers, it was ok, but nothing super special.  The rice that came with was nice though.
This is an empanadillas with aioli balsamic sauce drizzled on top.  
The inside is spinach with apricot bits.  Not too heavy, even though it's fried.
Paella!  Came here must get this dish!  This is a seafood paella, and there's tons of clams, shrimps, squid and mussels.  It was super delicious.  The size is a bit larger than a dinner plate, very easy to share. 
This is a Bastilla, very new to this...
When we opened it up, it has chicken, roasted almond in the phyllo dough and a dash of cinnamon sprinkled on top.
This is the Mereguez Sausage.  It's ok, but I would say save the calories for other dishes.
My friend, Julia was checking in on Yelp, if you mention it to the server, they will complimentary bring you a plate of Patatas Bravas.  It's diced potato and aioli sauce as topping.
Lastly, we go the Tortilla Espinola.  Potato omelet with spinach with aioli sauce.

In case you haven't noticed, there's a lot of aioli sauce in all the dishes.  Second, since I knew it'll be busy, I made a reservation, and that paid off.  We were downtown because we have a show to get to, having a reservation totally blows everyone out of the water.  They do have live music and diners there.  Don't forget to clap and tip them if you can.
