Cafe Sevilla of San Diego

Cafe Sevilla. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Some of my best memories with friends in my 20’s (20 years ago) happened at Cafe Sevilla, the club, the bar, and the restaurant. Well brunch this time around was delicious despite pandemic outside seating. We were there for a friend’s birthday and were surprised by a Pet Holiday Parade as background. We all enjoyed the 6 course tapas brunch. Don’t let the 6 course part scare you away. The portions are tapas size, which means small and manageable. The pictures speak for themselves. The food is delicious and masterfully chosen to compliment each other on the board. The bartender was heavy handed with the alcohol and we didn’t complain a bit. Always a great time at Cafe Sevilla!

Wonderful NYE Flamenco show dinner at Cafe Sevilla! The singer and dancers’ performance are really nice. The dinner is 3 courses fixed dinner, Spanish ham and goat cheese arugula salad, seafood paella, and apple tart, you can also add a olive bread for $8. The drinks are nice as well. I love their sangria. The service is very good. I recommend it.

A sensational exotic experience with food and music that fit the atmosphere. We had some friends who told us about their friend who sang here and couldn’t resist checking it out. The setting is fantastic and has a darker setting inside with Spanish style pieces hanging all over. The music that normally plays is great, but we wanted to check out the couple female singers who were set that evening. They had an extensive menu but they also had a family style menu that we decided to check out given the few of us that were dinning. We started with some drinks, and i Highly recommend the sangria it was delicious and they sold it in pitchers. They brought out some appetizers, some samosas, as well as some rice dishes. Next they brought out the entrees of paella and meatballs, followed by the cuts of chickens on skewers. They also brought out desert to end the evening. The music was fantastic and not to loud. The food was great the music was great and the prices completely reasonable. Check out this experience!

Wow! Impressive! This space is so beautifully decorated. We had paella and shared it. It was definitely delicious. We had few tapas, my son ordered ceviche, it was on the spicy side, great flavors. Sangria flight is great, my favorite being a pear flavor, right sweetness, well balanced. It was a consensus of our table, we all voted pear flavor to be the most delicious out of 4 flavors. Great atmosphere, great music. Check it out!

So I visited this with absolutely no previous experience in San Diego, and I have to say. I think I was expecting more from the place. The service impeccable our server was as polite and quick as he could manage. The atmosphere I dare to say that it might have to do with the time of day, but it had live music. Food now here is the percentage that decreases my rating, approximately 40 minutes to get two slices of bread with tomato paste. Paella did not have seasoning, and it was pretty bland. Tapas were interesting, too greasy parts of it with burnt parts, the only redeemable thing was potatoes with sauce, the sauce had an explosion of flavor, and the potatoes well done and crispy. But yeah, maybe it was me, but the food did not meet expectations.

Located in the middle of the Gaslamp quarters, this place may be too touristy. Nonetheless, during this visit, the food was above average and with great flavor. The sangria was good and we ended up ordering a big carafe. The service could be improved but overall will recommend to visit.

A very happening place with good music and vibe. The servers are very friendly and responsive. The Daily baked bread is highly recommended. The Grilled Pulpo Romesco is also recommended for people who enjoy Octopus meat. A bit disappointed with the mushroom paella. The taste could be improved. I’ve had much better mushroom Paella’s before. Overall, a nice place for lively dinner.

Absolutely loved this place. Particularly the music and ambience. It is lit every evening, the whole street is but this place has all the vibes you want. Date check; friends meet up check; family, maybe not The staff, particularly the bar tender, is not that great so a star less but that doesn’t make this place any less!! Must visit when in San Deigo Try their Spanish sour or old fashioned - a very different drink than usual!
