Authentic tapas in an authentic environment. Huge fan of the Happy Hour menu 4-6:30pm. 6 tapas for $6 and vino or sangria by the glass for $4.

Very tasty delectable choices to eat from the brunch menu as well as the regular dinner menu. A tad pricey for the small portions that they offer

Quite a tasty selection of Tapas with a extensive wine selection. The chorizo, calamari and fish croquettes were highlights for me. The Viognier by the glass was fantastic also.

I was waiting for a solo table at the Oysterette around the corner, and since that was taking awhile I found Bar Pinxto. I love tapas so was happy to find it. Delightful. Nice service too.

Tuesday night they serve a huge paella pan on the patio, paella changes every week from seafood to chicken and chorizo.

Joe Miller from beloved French eatery Joe's in Venice has an equally impressive tapas wine bar near the promenade. Order the paella of the day, grilled octopus and chorizo with Spanish wines. Read more

Tapas and sparkly wine how could it get any better?? The paella is dry so go with the meat $ cheese combos and albondigas you can't go wrong u less you hate meat and cheese.

A must try Pintxo: manchego, quince & arugula. Satisfying & fresh. Also, top notch deal on the delicious house red during happy hour.

Most Authentic Spanish Tapas Bar in the USA. Beer, Wine, and Gin cocktails avail. Open for brunch on wkends - with some pretty sick Bloody Mary options.

Paella is worth the wait, can't go wrong with a classic tortilla espanola or octopus
