Best Spanish Restaurants in Old Town

Booked a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with my mother and wife. I got a nice view of the sunset with the waves crashing enjoying my delicious scallop dinner. Idk how much better it could get. Miranda was an excellent server.

We attended a Valentine's Day special meal where the only remaining reservation was at 9pm. That's a bit late for seniors, and later staff graciously moved us from 9 to 5pm. So thankful and it set the tone for the entire evening. Food was delicious. David, our waiter, was great. Courses came and departed as if choreographed. This dinner was only our second time at Valentina's. This time was a real step up and a most pleasurable experience.

From the moment we arrived at the hostess was gracious, sat us down and gave us our drinks. The server was amazing. I cannot remember her name, but she was so sweet, and the strawberry martinis are out of this world the food the salmon was perfectly cooked, and the burger was a medium, also perfectly cooked great atmosphere. The noise level was perfect to where you can actually have a conversation and it wasn’t too loud.

If you want to enjoy an amazing offering of homemade recipes served by the passionate and friendly owners, then this is your place. The BEST uniquely paired and the best ingredients you can actually taste (like the butter and cream in their recipes). We ate each of the recommended items for soup, salad, entree, dessert & drink. We were NOT disappointed. I can't say enough on how delicious the food was and how you felt like family! We will be back every time we have Balboa Theater tickets. It is worth the traffic heading south on the 5 at rush hour to enjoy Tapas & Beer!

This place was so fun! Everything from the ambience, to the food and drinks was outstanding! Can't wait to go back!
