Came here on a weekday, unfortunately we didn't realize that happy hour is not every day of the week, so plan accordingly! Still a great experience with decently priced sangria pitchers and a good variety of hot/cold tapas. Between the ambiance and our Spanish waiter, it definitely felt like being back in Spain!

Great sangria! Awesome Spanish tapas restaurant. Definitely sit on the back patio, figured that out from all the yelp reviews, thank you Yelpers!! Live music, cool ambiance. We ordered a combination of cold and hot tapas and they were all amazing! We got the potatoes, ham and cheese croquettes, rabbit, bread, olives, cold cuts, stuffed peppers, bacon wrapped dates. They were all amazing! Great for sharing! Service was quick and the plates came out at a good pace. Service is very well coordinated and it seems like all the servers work together! Parking is mostly street parking so can be challenged. We parked in the back and walked over. Will definitely be back when I return to San Diego! Worth checking out for sure!

I don't remember exactly all the items that we ordered, but it was mostly tapas and everything was really good. One item that really stuck out was the oxtail tapas, it was tender and flavorful. We were there to celebrate our friends birthday and the service for the most part was good. Perhaps because we had a big group, the server forgot to get my drink order while everyone in the group put one in so I got my drink late and missed the cheers. Overall, good vibe, good service, good food, reasonable price.

We were looking for a cozy tapas place that allows dogs and found this gem on Yelp. The outdoor seating has a wonderful ambiance, making it feel like an integral part of the restaurant. A few steps lead up to it, and a thick vine layer separates it from the street, creating a cozy, secluded atmosphere. The large doors were open, seamlessly connecting the outdoor area with the indoor space. It definitely reminded us of our trip to Barcelona. Of course, I started with the ACEITUNAS ALIÑADAS, marinated olives complemented with pickled onion, peppers, and cornichons. They were very good. Next, we had the ALMEJAS A LA MARINERA, steamed clams in a delicious tomato sauce, perfect for dipping our bread. We also enjoyed some dry and sweet vermouth to taste but options. Both were delicious. My partner ordered the CROQUETAS DE BACALAO despite my warnings. I'm not a fan of fried food and we had hit-or-miss experiences with it in Barcelona, as it can get too greasy and heavy. However, he was pleasantly surprised - they were not greasy and just right. The PATATAS A LA BRAVA had the perfect level of spiciness. The boys enjoyed some JAMÓN SERRANO, PULPO A LA GALLEGA, and CARACOLES AL ALI-OLI. We finished with TARTA DE CHOCOLATE, which are usually too heavy for me, but this one was lighter than usual and quite good. It was a delicious dinner in a great ambiance. We definitely felt like we were transported back to Spain. On a side note, we had our dogs with us, and they seated us in a good spot for the dogs to relax. They brought water for them immediately, which was really nice. The service was very friendly and nice. UEFA 2024 Championship was going on, and we watched it on TV during our dinner. We had a nice chat about the games with the staff. Let's see if they are going to win the championship this year.
