Spanish Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose, CA

“muy buen servicio, y buen ambiente.“

“Mixed reviews esp as of late may reflect a general ennui over the place. If you love Spanish food and chefs, for you Dos Besos will be solid, old fashioned, well executed, and yes, a bit forlorn. The outdoor cafe has potential for joy, but it just doesn't reach past its ropes. My tapas, sangria, and almond cake desert were lovely. As a solo diner, a lady at that, I thought service could have been more cosmopolitan, fresh, and to use an overused word, modern. On one hand I encountered a chef via phone earlier that day who was affable, warm. Then, when I met the head chef in person, he was cold, which is fine, do you. But there was no spark overall, just another semi-nice place to spend money on a Pasadena evening. A staff member was quick to give me his number, flirtatious. Between the hot and cold of the chef, and the staff, I wondered how rare it might be for a woman to come here solo to simply be quiet, people watch, eat well, and enjoy. I could be wrong, but I think the endeavor, the restaurant was a dream for the chef made true by a sugar mama (forgive the expression), and it does have that (sullen) sense of (dull) acceptance. I am glad I went, happy the chef suggested I sit outside, and appreciated the nearby lifeblood and bustle of a restaurant courtyard across the street, and the steady flow of energy into and out of Kings Taco - both visibile from the outdoor courtyard. The sangria, so good, I would love some right now. The almond cake, again, solid, well executed, but I would not say it was full of love.“

“la comida es deliciosa y las meseras ni se diga... muy ..... amables“

“a cozy ambient venue for intimate concert setting!“

“Great ravioli 😋 and pizza“

“Really nice place with a great atmosphere. The restaurant is clean and has a relaxing, cozy feel. It mixes new and traditional very well. The food is really good but it can be a bit bland. The margaritas are mixed really well and only $10. The staff is very friendly but they seem to often be understaffed and the service can be slow. We always have to repeatedly ask for things because they forget to bring them. Overall, it's a great place and every time we are in the valley and want Mexican food, we stop here.“

“All I can say is that this place is BOMB. They have EVERYTHING you can think of. From Smoothies, jugos naturales to dessert and hot food. I got the caldo de res con tortillas hechas a mano and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back.“
