Good Spanish tapas in a small dark setting. Bring your own wine , no cork fee and they pour for you. Hit it up, get your buzz on and then go to 31ten down the street and dance off those tapas .

Jasmeet Gill

Amazing food, BYOB . Get anything that combines meat and cheese . No corkage fee !! Oh the meatballs are amazing

Keith Petersen

Great food and atmosphere. Service was friendly as are owners. It’s small so reserve in advance. 4-5 items good for 2. Authentic tapas like this hard to find

Bollare

A cozy restaurant with the best Spanish tapas in LA. Perfect for a romantic date or a relaxing dinner with friends. BYOB and no reservations , so show up early if you’re with a large group. —Sophie

Meg Farmer

BYOB tapas . Do the bacon wrapped dates for sure. Super intimate , great date spot .

Garrett Pendergraft

Great atmosphere but not many tables, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation .

Patrick

BYOB and food you just can't go wrong with. The zucchini plate and the meatballs - so good!

Thomas Vander Stichele

Cute place. Food is good but not great. If this place was in Spain would not go a second time. Mostly the easy tapas . A big nono was giving us what at best was prosciutto instead of the jamón serrano .

Felix Salmon

The atmosphere is great. The food, not so much. Don't offer jamón iberico if you don't actually have one!

Jason C

Delicious Catalan and Spanish tapas . Needs more anchovy dishes though.

Shehz

Veggie lasagna , Tres Sabores Rosé , Beet & Goat cheese salad , Jamon wrapped dates!

Melted Brie and fig tapas .... Delicious!!!! Bring your own bottle (s) of wine :) no cork fee !

Adam Tarshis

Short rib is excellent

Christopher T

New location but still excellent service and food!

Felix Salmon

Not BYOB any more! They have a beer and wine license... but somehow have contrived not to carry any sherry . Tapas fail!

Abhilash Patel

Everyone is right about the goat cheese & fig toast . Comes with a side of amazeballs when taken as a dessert .

Marton Varo

The calamari tapa is to die for. But then so is most of the menu. Grab a a bottle of wine next door and order away!
