Cute and cozy place. Food is good. But honestly for an informal tapas place charging 20 percent service charge is unacceptable in my opinion. This is by no means a high touch, high service restaurant. We are less likely to rush back honestly due to 20 percent mandatory service fee.

Tucked away on a quiet stretch of El Camino Real in Belmont, this restaurant is a hidden gem in the Bay Area food scene.
Serving a variety of traditional Spanish fare, such as paella, pulpo a la brasa, and tortilla de patatas, along with many other tapas, this beautiful restaurant offers a tranquil, intimate atmosphere ideal for romantic dinners and special occasions.
They also have a cozy bar area with couches and a more casual dining space, making it a great spot for relaxed get-togethers, especially during happy hour.
My favorite dish is the callos a la madrileña (trotter and tripe stew). I would return to this place just for that dish any chance I get.

Poor example of Spanish food. Overpriced and poor cooking.

Good food and service, but a little too pricey

Lovely place. The restaurant has an old world feel, quaint, and cozy inside. They have happy hour from 4-6pm with delicious small plates, and cocktails. We ordered the lobster paella, fried artichokes, and the Montadito De Lomo… all spectacular. Truly authentic cusine.
Parking is not bad if you arrive early. Bartender was friendly. My only complaint is how warm it was inside while sitting at the bar. The other side of the restaurant seemed much cooler. Could have been a female thing. 😄
Overall, delicious cuisine —will visit again.

Charming small space serving up amazing Spanish classic dishes. The food is incredibly good, wine selection is good, and the service is attentive but not rushed. The grilled octopus was a standout as was the stuffed squid. We will come back again when we are in town.

Everything was just perfect! Real authentic cuisine from España. Well made dishes and great quality ingredients. I’m Italian and now I live in US since almost 4 years, and I can surely say that this is the only one restaurant where every single penny is more than worth it. Great dessert too!
Last but not least, Great service!All employees are kind and professional. A big thank you to the super sweet Vanessa, she suggested amazing wine and made our dinner unforgettable!

After 4 years in the Bay Area (moved from Europe), I can confidently say this is BY FAR the best restaurant I’ve been to.
Quality of ingredients, perfect balance of flavors, great wines, I can go on.
The “sardines a la sal” were exquisite, and finally some real Jamón Iberico, not some generic retail dry prosciutto advertised as Jamón (unfortunately this has happened to us in a very well known Spanish restaurant in the region, which I will not name). And the paella, oh my god! I cannot wait to go back here to try all the other dishes!
Wonderful place. Charming, old world atmosphere. Jose Luis truly has a gem! Vanessa was a fabulous server and food was delicious! I'm looking forward to coming back soon. *PS: the heart on Calamari photo didn't come that way, I used the roasted pepper strip served with the dish to make it, but it sure describes how I felt about it!

Very tasty tapas. Menu updates frequently. Love the place.

If you are looking for a place to celebrate with a group - I strongly recommend Iberia! Juan Luis helped make sure every detail was taken care of, made ordering easy - the tapas just kept coming!, and the service was amazing.
