Spanish Restaurants near Sarasota, FL

“We’ve visited this restaurant several times, and every experience has been wonderful. The food is absolutely spectacular—full of flavor, excellent quality, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is just as amazing, very welcoming and perfect for enjoying a great meal with family or as a couple. It has definitely become one of our favorite Spanish restaurants. It’s always a pleasure to come back, and we highly recommend it!“

“Exceptional food, drinks, and service. The Caesar salad was great, lobster ceviche was awesome, and the skirt steak was perfect. My spouse loved his steak and I had a mojito. Everything was amazing.

Edit after another visit:

We had very bad service last weekend. For a higher priced restaurant like this, it was terrible. Our server 100% forgot about us. We ordered salads as soon as he brought our drinks and if he’d have asked, we’d have given our entire order right then. When we got our salads he didn’t check on us until they were almost gone. My husband wanted a well done steak, so our order should have been put in. Giving him the benefit of the doubt I don’t think they want to rush you in a nice restaurant. I asked if he could take our order when he checked on our salads. We took our time eating but decided we’d need a box to take home. We waited at least 20 minutes before he came to check on us. I used the restroom at one point and saw him at the bar area. I think his main section was over there because we never saw him at any of the tables around us. We were seated in the back by the kitchen and I saw him in that area and he was looking around in the dining area at the very large birthday party next to us but he wouldn’t make eye contact for me to ask for a box and our check. It was enough to not go back for awhile. For $140 ($170 w/tip) we could have eaten almost anywhere.“

“Meeting point for Latinos to find products of their taste. Small place but well attended and supplied...Well attended despite being almost closing... There were three of us and we reached the last three empanadas and the last three bonus breads... Being Latin you will be pleased in this place where you can consume or buy to take away. I liked it, I will return and enjoy it at a good time, thank you.“

“I got the roast pork sandwich...it was amazing. The churros were so good...I ate 1/2 the sandwich so I would have room for dessert! The guava dipping sauce for the churros was beyond good! This was my first visit to Columbia but I will be back many times!“

“The food was absolutely delicious and tasted so much like authentic Colombian food. Everything was excellent, from the flavorful dishes to the welcoming atmosphere. The service was outstanding as well—the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Colombian cuisine.“

“Great experience. Friendly bar crew. Always asking if you need anything Bar food good“
