Tapas Restaurants near Tarzana, CA

“Our Friend Vahe took us this week for a Tapas Treat to this gem on Ventura Blvd. They have been serving the valley with excellent Tapas for 20+ years. We went all the way - tried and shared most of the small tapas - croquetas, mushroom, shrimp, patatas and all the little baguette delicacies - and had a really good time. They have live music - a wonderful guitar player - on some days. If you like Spanish guitar worth checking out his dates in the place. If you care for Tapas - this is the right place.“

“I’ve been to Bacari a bunch of times, but brought a friend yesterday for her first visit and it was easily our best experience yet. Our server Sara was awesome—super attentive, a great listener, and just made the whole night special.
The food was totally on point. The crispy schnitzel and the shawarma tacos (perfect meat-to-slaw ratio) were highlights, and the Asian pear pizza 😋 was amazing. The only tiny thing was the pistachio sfoglia was a little bit overdressed with the sweet cream, but still good.
My friend loved her cocktails, and as a mocktail drinker, kudos to the bartender. The mocktail dirty martini (Salt n Solace) was PERFECT. The Botanica was good too, just a bit too sweet for me (next time I'll just ask to swap the tonic for club soda).
Bacari is always a great spot to hang out, but yesterday was exceptional. Thank you Sara for taking such good care of us!“

“My wife and I had a fully immersive experience at Xuntos. The food was some our go to favorites, but prepared so differently, it was like we never had it before. The sauce the shrimp was prepared in was savory, buttery, and had a little spice. They used a Spanish pepper we never heard of. Fantastic! The pork chop was prepared in a sherry glaze. We could tell it was sherry, yet it was not sweet, just incredible. All delivered in a beautiful space, by a team of knowledgeable and friendly staff obviously dedicated to providing an experience, not just food. We heard Evan, one of the servers/team member describe one of the dishes. It was so detailed in ingredients and preparation, he could have been the chef. George the mixologist/team member was poetry in motion. Creating amazing cocktails! We sat at the bar, my wife is a Gold metal chef and owned her own cafe. She feels you can really see the operation from there. It was like a ballet, dishes and drinks being delivered and plates and glasses being removed by every teammate. Sorry to be so wordy, but Xuntos is a special experience.“

“Wonderful experience at JINYA Ramen Bar in Topanga! My daughter and I came for our usual quick lunch and were seated at the ramen bar. Gaby made our visit especially enjoyable — she was so warm, attentive, polite, and professional.

What impressed me most was when I accidentally wrapped my aligners in a napkin and they were thrown away. I asked if they could be found, not really expecting it, but Gaby went above and beyond, found them, and brought them back to me! I was truly so grateful.

Thank you, Gaby, for your kindness and for making our lunch such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back! ❤“

“Great meal !!! There were so many unique menu options, including Asian fusion options-- like ahi and Korean bulgogi ! We enjoyed our meal & it's such a convenient location with plenty of street parking ! Plus, there are seats outdoors to enjoy your meal ! Definitely worth checking out. Close to ucla and in such a nice area of town. Our meal was prepped in a timely manner & the meal looked so beautiful too !“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Fantastic meal! As good or better than the old days.“
