Flamenco dance on Sundays. Live music on Thursdays. Top class Tapas every day. All is good. Friends love the Patata Bravas and Tortilla Española. I've a soft spot for the Rabas. Friendly bar tenders.

Joshua BerkMarch 27, 2016Sangria, Tempranillo wine, Octopus, Patitas Bravas, and the Oxtail. Happy Hour 4-6, live music on Thursday, Flamenco on Sunday. Listen to your server's recommendations, you can't really go wrong here.
Step out of Cali and into Spain, amazing restaurant. Ask a lot of questions and listen to your server. Haven't had anything bad. Love the manchego, patatas, garlic shrimp, dates,Super sweet sangria !
ZANE NIESENMarch 18, 2017Baby eels were awesome, you must try. Octopus is some of the best we've had. Matt was our waiter and was spectacular, as was all the wait staff who were attentive and constantly checking.- ZANE NIESENMarch 18, 2017Baby eels were fantastic, you must try. Octopus is really sensational. Matt was our waiter and was amazing!!!! His wine recommendation was spot on. The entire wait staff was attentive.
Igor MiniailoAugust 18, 2019Really authentic Spanish food. Baby eels, ox tails, sangria are delicious. But the most delightful is bread with garlic sauce!
- Glenda WillisSeptember 12, 2015Sangria was delightful, thick with fruit and not too sweet. First time I had paella - unbelievable. Our waiter was sooooo charming. Incredible evening! !!
VanessaSeptember 3, 2019I’ve been coming here for 7yrs and I’ve never had a less than AMAZING experience!!
Ashley RodriguezDecember 25, 2013Costa brava is really a piece of Spain in San Diego! Tapas are great, as well as, the sangriaaaaa!!
Moo JuJanuary 19, 2014Paella was exceptional. Be sure to get your order in early as it can take some time to come out.
Real Spanish food and wines. Ask about the specials and "Pimientos del Padrón" (not be listed). The "bravas", a must.
Christine WangAugust 15, 2012The pan tomaca is great in the summer. Make sure to order sangria! The flan is perfect for dessert.
Greg CrisciApril 2, 2011Wow...soooo good. The homemade bread, shrimp with garlic, chicken, and olives. Quiet place, very relaxing. Sit in the corner for privacy.
Rogelio EspinozaJune 30, 2013The sangria is a must along with the Patata bravas, gambas al ajillo, and caracoles
Delicious: filet skewers, grilled shrimp, calamari, and the bread!- Rogelio EspinozaAugust 18, 2013Must try mariscos de salpicón and pinchitos de moruña, along with ensalada mixta
J POctober 4, 2014The waiters are very friendly. ... They make you feel at home. Whatever home may be.
Marshall PedenFebruary 24, 2010Definitely try the oxtail tapa, and trust your server's recommendations. For a more low-key experience sit at the bar. Jaime will take GREAT care of you!
LeeanneSeptember 23, 2011Patatas bravas and sangria are my fave. Great for a group dinner. A hidden gem in PB.
Happy hour everyday 4-6 pm. Simply the best at the beach.
Luz ThrallJuly 31, 2010Sangria is good, tapas, paella & the bread with garlic butter are really awesome!
Robert MartinApril 16, 2015All tapas, esp Gambas a la Plancha (If you're not intimidated by the shells and heads). Rabbit too!

"This place has a beautiful ambiance with the softly lit candelabras. A great spot to go in PB for live music."

"This is the best place to get authentic quality (albeit expensive) Jamón Ibérico direct from Spain. We're talking orgasmic ham here!"
