Love love LOVE the design and decor of this place! I would almost go back just for that, but luckily their food is also amazing! Service was friendly and knowledgeable, if anything maybe a tad understaffed, but all in all a great time! Will definitely be back!

Go here and bring your friends!! First time here and loved it. The space is beautiful and together with the music snd drinks, it transports you to another city.We tried all the pintxos and they're all SO good. Each one has different flavour combinations that work well and balanced together. We especially liked the Sierra, Italian and Kraken.There's a lot more tapas to choose from. We got the feature clams (get more bread to dip the sauce!), patatas bravas, and a potato cake dish I forget the name of but it was also really good.

Great neighbourhood eatery. A group of six of us enjoyed a couple of hours on a busy Friday night. The menu is limited, but everything is unique and very tasty! House wine and drinks are cheap and the service friendly. The place was busy, busy but the server maintained her cool and was consistently polite and efficient. We'll be back!

I am so pleased with this wonderful addition to the Pender Gore mini hood. Food is creative and yummy yummy. Atmosphere is bright, colourful, well lit, and creative design worthy of the excellent taste treats. THANK YOU for choosing this location!

Never actually got to dine in at this place, but the service was bad enough that I will probably never go back. My friend and I came in on a Friday night without reservations; they had a sign up saying "Please seat yourselves" but we had a feeling that due to COVID that was probably not the case. The sign probably should have been taken down. It took forever for a host/hostess to even notice us. The bartender clearly saw that we were standing by the door, but not once did he look up to greet us or even acknowledge our presence. Furthermore, the customers were staring at us like we were some kind of zoo animals, so we definitely did not feel welcome here. Someone finally came over only to tell us they were booked and did not have a table until 2 hours later. I was kinda glad because we ended up going to another place down the street with way better service and amazing food. Not sure if it's even worth trying to come back here.

The atmosphere is so inviting I come every weekend when I can, everyone is so nice and make me feel at home. They make a me a personal charcuterie board (dont eat seafood... ) and it was so delicious ? and the cocktails ? the pisco sour was amazing and margaritas hit the spot. Obviously coming back. Cant reccomend enough ?

A hidden gem. Every dish was beautifully presented with care and the flavours were incredible. The sardine and cod liver pâté pintxo was not something we would have ordered but we wanted to step outside our comfort zone and it was our favourite bite of the night. Still thinking about the meal a day later, that says something. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Very friendly staff and eclectic atmosphere for cocktails and Spanish pintxos & tapas.We tried the pintxo platter (5 for $35) which included various toppings (jamon, sardine, squid, salmon, yellowtail) on bread. I would have preferred if the bread was slightly toasted to give it more texture, however I don't believe it would be traditional to do so. In terms of value, $7 each is a bit steep, but this is Vancouver and not Spain!My favourite dish of the night was the Pulpo a la Gallega (octopus with potato, mayo and bittersweet paprika - $20). The flavours were excellent and I loved the puffy potato. However, the value was not great for the portion.The cocktails that I tried were excellent (watermelon martini and caipirinha). Both were very refreshing!

Best tapas in Vancity. Our server was unbelievably helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. My only regret is we found it on our second last day. Next time if it doesn't get overrun.
