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 .
Amazing food, BYOB . Get anything that combines meat and cheese . No corkage fee !! Oh the meatballs are amazing
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
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
BYOB tapas . Do the bacon wrapped dates for sure. Super intimate , great date spot .
Great atmosphere but not many tables, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation .
BYOB and food you just can't go wrong with. The zucchini plate and the meatballs - so good!
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 .
The atmosphere is great. The food, not so much. Don't offer jamón iberico if you don't actually have one!
Delicious Catalan and Spanish tapas . Needs more anchovy dishes though.
Veggie lasagna , Tres Sabores Rosé , Beet & Goat cheese salad , Jamon wrapped dates!
There are so many excellent dishes. The dates wrapped in ham are delicious.
Mac & cheese and the stuffed dates are amazing
The best Tapas in all of SoCal
no corkage fee here is one of the (not so) best kept secrets in SM. bring your favorite bottle and favorite friend and have some of their great tapas .
Melted Brie and fig tapas .... Delicious!!!! Bring your own bottle (s) of wine :) no cork fee !
Short rib is excellent
New location but still excellent service and food!
Not BYOB any more! They have a beer and wine license... but somehow have contrived not to carry any sherry . Tapas fail!
Everyone is right about the goat cheese & fig toast . Comes with a side of amazeballs when taken as a dessert .
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!
Chorizo lasagna was solid
The chicken and cabrales empanadas are amazing!!
Best tapas I've had in LA
Steak and Shiraz Pie , Yams
Everything on the menu is delicious!
Delicious!
Food is amazing and Bronwen is the best waitress
Beef short rib
No corkage fee and there is a liquor store next door
If you forget the wine , the liquor store next door has a decent selection.
Goat cheese and fig tapas ...amazing!
Try the flan
Meh. Can't decide if it wants to be Spanish or Middle Eastern. Read more

Cocktails, cod, dessert trio! - Amanda
Solid beer list, great spot on any night. One of my favorites on the street and in the area. - Kayla Johnson
The drinks were great! I especially loved the theme and the live music. A nice place for a night out in Venice. - Paola D
Try Their pizza! Awesome! They serve parmesan cheese, herb and olive oil as condiment with pizzas, which amplify the taste of pizza. - Sam Lee
Definitely a local favorite! The clams are a must. Great service, consistently a great experience! - Steve Krohn
