Casa Vicente

We did entrees instead of Tapas. The main course was exquisite, featuring perfectly cooked large prawns in a creamy garlic sauce that was light and infused with a satisfying depth of flavor. The flan also was amazing. I have to say that the service, however, was not quite on par with the food - neither attentive (scant-to-no refills on coffee,/tea/water, wrong orders, food not all out at approximately the same time) nor particularly gracious (welcoming - and I don't really like super intrusive/chatty wait staff styles). If the tip had not been included for our group at 20% (what we usually tip), I probably would have tipped slightly less than our usual as I expect a little more professional service at establishments where dinner runs $25/plate before drinks, salad, or dessert. That said, I enjoyed the food so much that I would probably go back and even consider renting their outdoor patio for an event because I care more about the food (kudos to the chef) than I do about the wait staff's level of proficiency. It was really, really delicious.

Great atmosphere and great tapas. There are many, many, types of tapas you can choose from. No matter what you're in the mood for this place probably has a tapas dish that will hit the spot. Their tapas are served family style so order a few different dishes to share, maybe go outside your comfort level a little bit, and enjoy. Try one of their house margaritas while you're there too, you won't regret it.

I lived in Manhattan for most of my life and have taken two trips to Spain. I am quite familiar with the Tucson restaurant scene and Casa Vincente is the ONLY restaurant in Tucson that makes me feel I am back in New York or Spain. The food is very good. The entertainment can be excellent. The bartender really knows how to make a cocktail. Great atmosphere too! My only wish is that they would make a paella for two.

My friend and I liked the restaurant! The service was good; [the seating a little cozier than normal] and the food was good. We shared the tapas: Pincho Moruno Cordero, Gambas al Ajillo, Berenjenas Salteadas with Patatas Bravas y Ali‐Oli accompanied by the delicious sangria. All were exceptional except the skewers (Pincho Moruno) the meat was a little on the tough side. The flan dessert was exquisite! Live music band Tesoro was a treat! Minus: A/C needed in the restaurant, especially during the summer months.
