Tried this place for the first time for light bites and a cocktail. It was conveniently located in downtown Palo Alto. Plenty of public parking in the area so parking is never an issue. The place is nicely organized and beautiful decorated. It is clean and really neat. The host and servers were friendly and accommodating. We were greeted warmly and were seated almost immediately. We elected to try a cocktail and varieties of appetizers and it was delicious and filling. Will be returning again for sure!

Went to Joya for a team dinner meeting. The drinks were good and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is pretty casual but also upscale. Love the wine bottle display at the entrance. I'd highly recommend the bacon-wrapped medjool dates, artisan cheese plate and the charcuterie plate. All 3 were delicious. I'd go back and order a couple of the bacon wrapped dates, the cheese plate and some drinks and call it a wrap. We also ordered 2 Paella's, the Clasica and Vegetarian. I'm allergic to seafood and was afraid to take a chance even with the vegetarian option, so I declined. The vegetarian option smelled amazing though. I decided to order the empanadas and croquetas, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy either of them and ended up wasting 1/2 of my order. Definitely won't be ordering that on my next visit. (Minus 1 star) Now for my favorite part of any meal, besides the drinks of course is dessert. We had the following: 1. Churros - Scrumptious 2. Oreos Fritos - Yummy 3. Warm Dark Valrhona Chocolate Cake - Ok 4. House-Made Sorbet Trio - Ok 5. House-Made Ice Cream Trio - Ok 6. Chocolate Martini's - Divine My final grade B+. Would I be back...Absolutely.
