This is one of my favorite restaurants in sac! I come here probably a couple times a month. It’s a go to when I have friends and family visiting. The prices are great, food is delicious, and the drinks are amazing!!! Highly recommend the sangria it’s mmmmmm so good. I love when they have live music!!! The spanish guitar really perfects the vibe of this place and makes for an overall very pleasant and enjoyable dining experience!!!!

The food is delicious! The ambiance is nice. It did feel a little cold inside and never warmed up. The waitress was not friendly or welcoming at all. Just ignore her and enjoy your food.

Came across this place by chance. Based on reviews and picture, I was interested, especially because the taps selection looked amazing. Did a reservation via Resi. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated. The place had several parties but was not pack. There was one waiter doing most of the service. This was a bit of a concern. When he finally made it to our table, we ordered 5-6 tapas and two cocktails. We were surprised that the food arrive 10-15 minutes later. The croquettes and empanadas were amazing. The tortilla was good but a bit on the cold side. The gambas were good but small and did not come with bread. The other tapas were really good but not memorable. Cocktails were good and the selection was decent. I definitely will go back, but will lower expectations. And next time will order the paella which looked great.

Experience authentic delicious fresh classic style Spanish Tapas in a vibrant and lively midtown restaurant, with a great ambiance and vibe!! All the items we ordered, from the amazing grilled octopus, fresh Mediterranean salad, grilled vegetables and mixed olives where very flavorful, fresh and beautifully prepared. The wait staff and owner where friendly, attentive and on point.

The Suave Sultan

Located in lively midtown Sacramento, this Spanish restaurant is a must-see. The food is always delicious and the service is top notch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can visit in all weather. It’s on the pricy side, but totally worth it.

Thomas Hunt

This place is a nice little gem in midtown. The service was great, I really liked the communication. When a dish takes longer then most of the dishes the waitress let us know the approximate wait time. My favorite was the appetizers. The calamari was delicious but what really set it off was the dipping sauce. I will say the sauce with the potatoes was a bit underwhelming, it was basically spaghetti sauce; at least it was better than ketchup.

This is my 3rd time visit the restaurant, the first 2 visit were amazing 10/10, but last night my boyfriend took me here for my birthday and the service was awful, the girl that served us I don’t know if it was a waitress or a hostess, she didn’t even bring my sangria, no one checked on us, i needed more water and no one care about, we wanted to order dessert and I didn’t see another server for the rest of the night that care about us, so we left unhappy, the food was really good but the service terrible.
