So many of our lasting memories revolve around beautiful meals shared with wonderful individuals. We created Pueblo from the belief that food brings people together, from strangers to the dearest of friends.Our cuisine aims for sophistication in taste and techniques yet approachability in style and value – consistently fresh elements and simple, delicious flavors always stand the test of time. The vibrant Spanish cuisine indeed offers us a great canvas on which to feature a variety of shareable dishes showcasing the best ingredients possible.

    Very easy to make reservations via opentable app. It wasn’t crowded on a Wednesday afternoon, service was fast and efficient. Music wasn’t loud, my friends and I were able to yap. Food was excellent. This is my second time here and I knew they offer the off-menu Tomahawk Paella so I knew what to order and it did not disappoint . They will tell you it is good for 4 people but it was good for 6! We had 3 tapas, the Tomahawk plus dessert and coffee. We had so much paella left because there were only 4 of us. Hostess Mariate made sure we felt taken cared of 🤓

    Delicious food, tasty drinks, nice ambiance and view of California adventure and the firework show. A little pricey but expected given the area. They do not have a kids menu but accommodated with a cheese pizza for the kid in our group.
