There's a reason Firefly continues to grow as other tapas joints keep popping up all over town: value. But low prices mean nothing if the food isn't reliably delicious, and that perfectly describes the menu at Firefly. Only about five of some 40 mini-dishes reach the $10 mark. Don't tell, but we'd happily pay more for cool gazpacho, crisp empanadas, a great Thai beef salad and cheese-stuffed piquillo peppers.  Voted "Food Trend of the year" in 2011 for it's small-plates format, Firefly continues to bring in the diners.
