A rare gem of a place for those who miss the feel of an European style night life! The atmosphere, the crowd and the cuisine - a delight for the senses! You can get intimate or you can choose to dive into a party with the musicians - always eclectic indie songwriters and world music bands, local and galaxy hitch-hikers, jammin' in the realm of Flamenco, Jazz Swing, Burlesque, Balkan sounds and sincopated rhythms... All you can eat! : )- And the surf is around the corner...
In "chained" US, such places are essential for hollistic living and survival of the soul! Keep up the community work, Basilio and Maria!
Their mocktails were awesome. The new renovated space has more room and the patio area is awesome for large gatherings. Their Timba Night was amazing thanks to DJ Sandunga who played everyone's favorite Timba. Thank you, Cafe Europa. I am telling more people about this place.
Always a worthwhile dining experience. Serving everything to your heart's content, with the ultimate seafood paella that's to die for. We've always enjoyed the vast selection of what's available on the menu. The Flamenco show topped off the evening for us.
Newest secret in PB! Kept walking by going to the birrieria (also incred) next door. The vibes are perfect, and food is dope. They have dancing and live music a few nights per week.
This place is phenomenal. Been coming here since 2016! Yes they have since transitioned to phone ordering due to labor shortages, but it’s easy and streamlined! The music is good, food specials are delicious, and the ambience is fantastic.
It is disappointing to see people berate this place with negative reviews versus communicating with the staff on site. The staff has always been helpful if there are any discrepancies, look forward to more good times!
My newest favorite spot!! The place is impeccable, so much personality, service is exceptional and the vibes are impeccable. The live music, the food and the wine list are all amazing, and oh, if you’re Brazilian, you’re gonna love the voz e violão cantando MPB in this place!
10/10 will recommend to everyone I know!
I had a remarkable evening, Christian did a fine job of ensuring everything was just perfect. The food and the music we're amazing.
Went there for an argentine tango event and tried the paella. Good food and nice ambiance.
This place is a hidden gem! They've really improved their online ordering system. The ambiance is the best - amazing job on the lighting, giving the place a calm and comfortable look. The food is amazing. Great date spot! It looks like they make a big scene for birthdays too - which you'll have to see the sparkle yourself!
Basilio, the owner is exhuberant and happy as he greets you on arrival. The staff is attentive and the food is good. They have a guitarist playing live music, which adds to the bohemian ambiance. I love the art on their walls, Spanish-flavor.
My new local fave for a perfect chill evening. The owner always seems to be on hand and greets you like family. Once you navigate the ordering system it's a snap to use and the food... YUM!
Love the comfy couch patio area - perfect for a casual happy hour with friends or to hunker down solo with a book, a glass of wine and a nosh. Their live entertainment is varied in style and genre, all top notch and I appreciate that they keep the volume appropriate to fabulous background ambiance and not so loud you can't hear yourself think, let alone carry on a conversation.
I'm officially a regular!
Food was amazing! Music was amazing! Only complaint I have is that on Sundays, you have to order through your phone. It was a little complicated and annoying and that's coming from a 24 year old so I'm assuming older people will struggle with that concept even more. But the tapas and atmosphere were great and so I'll definitely visit again!
