  Okay so I came here like two years ago and it was meh to be honest. But we went again and wow wow! Their food got a lot better. A ton of protein choices for their AYCE Brunch, when in the past I felt like it was carb heavy.
  
  We got a bunch of things to share: patatas bravas, albóndigas, chorizo hash, steak and huevo, side of bacon, avocado toast, Spanish tortilla, Chicken and waffles (that had a curry sauce on it!!), fruit, bread pudding, and churros. My favorites were the chorizo hash (there's a nice kick to it!), the steak and eggs (chimichurri sauce was on point), and duh the churros.  
  
  Glad we came to Pamplona, very pleased with everything and will definitely be back!

  Pamplona is an awesome Spanish tapas place in Clarendon. Paying $35 for the Taste of Spain menu (unlimited small plates) is so worth it and it gives you an opportunity to try a lot of excellent dishes. My last visit, I was with a group of 6, and we all opted to do the Taste of Spain. We paid an additional $10 for the Paella, and I am happy we did! The duck and chicken Paellas were huge, and everyone in my group thought they were delicious. I've tried a lot of the small plates at Pamplona, but what keeps me coming back are chicken croquetas - they are so good! Also, the grilled cheese is bomb. It is always grilled perfectly, and it is stuffed with ham and has a truffle honey drizzle on top. A few of my other favorites are the albóndigas (meatballs), truffle mac & cheese, and brussel sprouts. Honestly, I've enjoyed all of the dishes I have had from Pamplona!
  
  The service is pretty good and I haven't had to wait too long for drinks. I think on Tuesdays wine is half priced! Also, the girl who was refilling our waters last time was spot on...my glass never even got close to empty. Overall, Pamplona is a fun atmosphere to eat and drink with a group of your friends.

  Came here in between brunch and dinner on a Saturday. My friends ordered the spanish totilla and grilled cheese which were both good but nothing outstanding. My other friends got the beet salad and arguala salad which were again good but could have been made at home. The ceviche was good but came in an astonishingly small portion even for a tapas. I split the large duck paella with the rest and was underwhelmed by it. The paella itself was under cooked and not crispy enough, plus tasted far too tomato-y for my liking. The duck in particular wasn't bad by any means. But what was especially unfortunate was, on my very last bite I bit into something hard. I pulled it out of my mouth only to realize it was a piece of hard clear plastic, I notified the waiter and the manager came out and apologized profusely, he then took the paella ($50) off the tab and further gave each of the five members of my party a $25 gift certificate as a further apology.
  
  On the whole, the food was good, fine, but nothing outstanding and the plastic really put a damper on the whole afternoon. The service on the other hand was quite good, including the apology and all the service beforehand.

  The brunch deal is definitely worth It. Our server was very attentive and dishes came out quickly. I enjoyed that there was no limit for the table to order plates per round. The mimosas were mostly champagne which is a plus. Fave dishes
  Steak and egg and meatballs

  We were generally underwhelmed by the food here. Everything tasted fine but nothing was fantastic, especially considering how pricey it was. We ordered a few small dishes along with the duck paella. The duck paella was severely lacking in duck. It was for two people and we only got one duck thigh in the middle of the pan.
