Mina's Spanish Kitchen

10 years ago a good Spanish food joint in this area was hard to come by but now they seem to be cropping up everywhere!

This place is small but can accommodate groups and wasn't too busy when I showed up for dinner.  Pricing was average with entrees at about $12 on average per person (I spent $40 for two people).  The food was actually pretty good.

Wife ordered some rice, beans, meat and a little of everything which looked like a neat little sampler plate; all of which she really enjoyed.  My food was more simple and boring with tostones & pork chops but damn those pork chops tasted killer.  Seasoning on the chops were spot on that I could have nibbled off my fingers!!

My only complaint are the appetizers.  It seems a good number of these spanish spots think an empanada should cost $3 each for a nibble size portion (see photo).  This pricing seems to be common in this area for these tasty appetizers but damn I can get them for $1 each in NYC.  They made them REALLY good here but for $2 each definitely not worth the price but I had to taste it.

Overall not a bad spot for price and value.  I'll definitely visit again and would recommend others give it a shot.

Average service.  Food was good but nothing special, but it was reflective of the price.  The place was very well maintained and clean.

I'm going to go ahead and give this restaurant 5 stars! We were served our order very fast and the food was PHENOMENAL! Hard to find a good Spanish restaurant in upstate NY.. But we found it!
