Large party of 10 had dinner on 4/5/25 and all of our meals and tapas were excellent. Restaurant is not too loud which is nice. Friendly servers. Bar service a bit slow, but drinks were very good. Ample parking which is tough in Boulder. Definitely recommend!

The food here is fantastic, and the service is great. The pork skewers are totally amazing. The homemade linguini, calamari, mussels, shrimp are all great. And happy hour prices are very reasonable

Food is awesome, staff is nice, BUT this place has the WORST and MOST uncomfortable hybrid bar chairs/stools I’ve ever sat on. My friend gets cramps from them and they are so heavy and bulky and cramped together that it’s hard to move them. Did Elon design these hybrid bar stool chairs?

I’ve always liked this little spot, though I haven’t eaten here much over the years. Tonight, I was excited to finally come back—we were craving tapas.
Unfortunately, the quality of the food was disappointing. The meatballs arrived lukewarm, the fish was underwhelming, and even the pizza—of which I had just one slice—lacked the flavor and quality I’d hoped for.
The ingredients didn’t taste fresh or local, and the overall experience felt more like mass-produced food than something thoughtfully prepared. I hate to say it, but it just wasn’t good.

Very disappointing experience given the number of positive reviews. When we were first seated, it did take a while for the server to come by, but she was great thereafter. To start, the happy hour pricing in restaurant is $1 more on most food and drinks versus the prices shown on the website. The fried calamari was average; the breading was bland. The pork loin skewers were overcooked, very burnt, and the meat was not very flavorful. The mariscos paella had a good amount of seafood, but the rice is very mushy and the shrimp is rubbery. They were out of the creme brulee dessert, so we opted for tiramisu and the raspberry white chocolate cake. I find it odd that a raspberry cake would be decorated with several slices of fresh strawberry. The raspberry sauce was very thick and dense. The tiramisu was also decorated with strawberry slices and dressed with a chocolate sauce that tastes like something you can buy at a grocery store.

Excellent food and service. Last night also had excellent play list as well lol. The margherita pizza is amazing, a big surprise, and the calamari too topped off with churros it was the perfect dinner. A little lacking in the vegetarian options, but when asked for was very accommodating and made my wife a custom option. Will be returning soon and hope to remember how good the margherita pizza was

What a lovely, cozy, delicious find! Loretta was exceptional and our food was superb! The stuffed dates are perhaps the best I have ever had. No one rushed us, we had a fabulous evening in a perfect atmosphere.

Lovely tapas in North Boulder. Very friendly servers and staff, reasonable happy hour prices, good atmosphere. Everything we ate was very good - linguine, shrimp in garlic butter Caesar salad, dates w/prosciutto. Will definitely return.

Happy hour specials are great. I enjoy coming Sunday evenings for live singing and ladies night glass of red wine. The mushrooms are mouthwatering.
ALWAYS forget about this place. Patio was GREAT, REALLY good happy hour menu, service was off but the manager jumped in and filled in where necessary. If that had not occurred, this would be a one star review.

Last night was AWESOME! It had been quite a while since being here and I was so happy we decided to go here.
Top Notch service the ENTIRE meal, with many folks stopping by and making sure we had what we needed, not JUST our server. Everyone who came to the table seemed happy, relaxed, and enjoying themselves in what they were doing, whether bringing food, removing plates, or taking payment. Everyone was friendly and effiecient.
The Food was spectacular. I loved the bread which had just come out of the oven. Mushrooms on the Tapas menu was the best thing I've put into my mouth in a few months. Linguine was fresh and very flavorful Shrimp Tapas was a bit spicy even for my spicy palatte but they were cooked nicely and not overdone.
I'll be back Dagabi, much sooner than I was last time. Thanks for a wonderful meal!

Good place, among the best we have been to in Boulder. The food is very delicious and has good prices. Only one thing for the place, we sat at the table facing the wall near the exit and the wall was very dirty! I think those details can be corrected

To start they caught the lights above us on Fire due to how they placed the heater. We sat in the freezing cold, ordered many menu items and they were all really terrible. The calamari was very overcooked and almost impossible to bite through. The $17 asparagus dish was three pieces of mushy asparagus. And the we could hear an employee cursing to themselves in the dish pit for over thirty minutes. The overall quality is very poor and not worth your money.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boulder. They offer an extensive selection of tapas, perfect for creating a meal from a few dishes or sharing with friends. Their main courses are equally excellent, and their specials never disappoint! I always finish with their delicious Tiramisu or creamy crème brûlée. In the summer, it’s lovely to sit in their outdoor section, enjoying the refreshing breeze while having dinner and drinks.
Parking: Free parking two hours limit for customers shop or dine in the plaza. I usually have no trouble finding a parking spot.
There’s nothing worse than getting catfished by food.
We looked at the online photos and reviews and as locals we were so excited to try a new Boulder restaurant.
Spanish shrimp were so overcooked they were rubbery. The broth that they came in was the best thing we had all night (not saying much).
The mussels were also overcooked and almost stringy. The broth they came in was mediocre. The petite filet mignon was covered in a sauce that tasted horrible. It did not seem like true filet mignon- it was reminiscent of a TV dinner in appearance and texture.
The paella was mushy and lacked that crisp you normally get from cooking in a cast iron, and the artichokes were overpowering. The mussels and shrimp yet again were stringy, rubbery and overcooked.
Overall the ambiance was outdated, broken, for instance we were served broken cast iron dishes, and sat next to a broken window. The ambiance honestly did not reflect the prices of some of the dishes and tapas style. You’re better off probably getting pizza (maybe?).
Service was fine. Our appetizers did not come out first, everything came out at once ( also not tapas style).
