Classic Alba similar to their other branches, great Spanish dishes cooked to perfection with a band to seranade. Order paella ahead - a must for every visit - as it takes a while, then decide on what sides and other dishes. Located inside Westgate, parking upfront the store will be unlikely - suggest tl drop off passengers and find available parking nearby. Available indoor and outdoor seating, best to call and reserve ahead if big group.
I would give 7 stars if i could! The food and servers (& musicians) are absolute topnotch! They give such attention to detail that they don’t stop filling up your water haha I highly recommend this spot for authentic Spanish cuisine (the best paella negra & gambas) and service/hospitality that really sets the bar high. We didn’t ask for a birthday cake but when they overheard us that one of us had her birthday, they gave us a small cake with “Feliz cumpleaños and a candle”. Such a sweet thoughtful gesture. Really left nothing to be desired. We are surely coming back—the training that the staff have must be on such high standards and hopefully they are happy to serve because they’re compensated well. Muchas gracias!
07/08/25. Spanish Despedida Brunch with friends. Alba is one of our Go To restaurants for fine food and top notch service. GOOD: 1. Complimentary starter bread basket with rolls and baguette slices was served hot and fragrant. 2. Ensalada del Caezar was served on chilled plates... Very proper rarely experienced in restaurants these days. 3. Hot Tapas were delicious together with warm bread. 4. Paella Valenciana as always...a crowd pleaser. 5. Service was top notch. Not intrusive but always ready to refill water as necessary. Changed plate and changed cutlery when main course was served. COULD BE IMPROVED: 1. The New Zealand Oysters was expensive at P1750 for 6 pieces. May i suggest to make it 8 pieces. We had a memorable and fun despedida brunch with full tummies. Thank you.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
