Excellent food and vibe! The tapas are definitely “Americanized” so just be prepared for that. The flavors are excellent - we had the brussel sprouts, calamari, and smoked salmon plate. All delicious. I opted for the lamb as my main - it was DELICIOUS. Perfectly cooked, and a slight bit of salt and pepper to season - enough to compliment without overwhelming. The pallella was also authentic and incredible. Well worth the visit!
Tapas & Beer is the real deal! The vibe is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for date nite or dinner with friends. Now, let's talk about the food – the sausage sampler was delicious. We paired it with a side of organic vegetables and their homemade baquette that they bake right before it comes to your table!!!! So good and they've got an extensive beer selection too! But what really makes this place shine are the owners of the restaurant, Nael and Julie. They are very friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your experience.
I went there for a business meeting, and was very pleased with the service and the food. I can’t wait to take my wife back there for a date.
Tasty food, good service, cold beer. Nice outdoor seating area. Had the mushroom burger and fries. The burger was more medium rare than the medium i ordered, but still very good. The fries were great.
I wanted to love this place. I was disappointed in the tapas. I tried the calamari and the mushroom and Brie toasts. Both were sweet, which I didn’t expect. I did like the panko crust on the calamari, but they were strips, which I didn’t expect. I wish the mushroom brie toasts did t have agave syrup on them, I think it would have been better without. The wine was pretty good though.
Great service, amazing food! Make sure to try their calamari, it is excellent! Best hidden gem restaurant in downtown San Diego, highlight recommended.
I loved everything about this place!! Food and wine was delicious, and the hospitality showed us by Nael, the owner, was top-notch! You can tell he really cares about the customer experience and takes great pride in his menu, including some family recipes he brought here from France where he grew up. Amazing food, amazing experience; will definitely be back!
