We loved this place. The jumbo prawns was the best I've ever had. The flavor was out of this world. The seafood paella was good but it was hard to top the prawns. The dessert was also amazing. Cute ambience, good service, great food & drinks. We'll definitely be back for the prawns!

I went here for my birthday and had a blast with my family. Thoroughly enjoyed all the food. I've been all over Spain and this restaurant is probably as close as you can get to great Spanish food outside of Spain. I also enjoyed the Sangrias. Excellent service.

Great food, service, and ambience. All the dishes tasted great, but our favorite was the paella. Been there a few times already, and look forward to dining there again soon. The patio area is quite lovely. There are a few parking spots on premise but they get filled pretty quickly.

What a gem in Santa Barbara.

It’s a beautiful restaurant with great lighting, a gorgeous full bar, and plenty of patio seating with heat lamps.

Went with a group of 6. Highly recommend making reservations but they did have two separate bar seating areas.

They have a great drink menu including vermut that was surprisingly very refreshing.

We had the croquetas de jamón, the crudo, the mushrooms, the pear and goat cheese salad, the chicken and chorizo paella, and the churros.

Everything was fantastic. Those were some of the best croquetas that I’ve ever had. Bright and fresh crudo was also fantastic. The pear was brined or marinated so looked bright red like watermelon. The octopus dish had so many layers and was amazing.

The chicken chorizo paella was good but had large pieces of chicken in it which some of my friends would have preferred smaller pieces. I’d like try the seafood paella next time.

Churros we’re obviously Spanish style so a bit more dense but they were solid. Def tasted better with the three dipping sauces it came with. They’re slightly different types of churros than Mexican style churros.

Overall a very cute spot with fantastic food. Perfect for date night or a big group.

Service also was attentive and super friendly.
