Costa Brava is like a little piece of Spain right in San Diego! It’s the perfect meal for a night out! It’s probably the best and authentic Spanish food you’ll ever have without going to Spain! The tapas here is top notch with something for everyone no matter any diet restrictions and it will be delicious, I guarantee. I highly recommend the tender on the inside and addictively crunchy on the outside calamari, ultra tender baby eels, and fresh, tender shrimp in a butter sauce. And the bigger entrees like the fall right off the bone oxtail which feels like it melts in your mouth without even chewing is a must have. And I highly suggest you do not miss out on the paella, a Spanish classic which is a saffron flavored rice dish decked out with all the seafood you can imagine. The only complaint I have is the croquettes which have a nice crispy exterior that pairs nicely with the creamy interior, but we ordered two different kinds and they both taste the same. So, I suggest only getting one order. And the atmosphere of the place is so warm and comforting, making it a perfect place for people to relax after a long day. As I was dining, I saw several groups of friends laughing themselves to tears at the bar, young couples enjoying their meal at a candle-lit table, and families with young toddlers enjoying a night out. So, whether your party is small or large and of all kinds, this is an excellent place to make a night you won’t forget. Throughout the night, me and my family were met with first rate service. Our waiters were charming, constantly making jokes, and ready to make our night a great one. They took time to make sure our water glasses were refilled every few minutes and offered to give us clean plates and cutlery each time a new course was about to be served. Some of the friendliest service I’ve ever gotten. You do not miss out on this place! Go check it out!
great places to enjoy tapas and Spanish food in SD. The vibe is quite good, very Spanish as you would want and/or expect. Service is always ready to ensure you have a great time. Also, they carry Mahou, my favorite Spanish beer!!!
