Spanish Potato Grill

The most popular menu items will best appeal to the carnivores among you. For instance, the succulent and buttery roasted chicken breast with Portuguese chorizo is very tasty. For something on the lighter side, seafood is a popular commodity at Spanish Potato Grill. Get the shellfish platter with clams, muscles, and lobsters, and you won’t be disappointed.
