Intimate space, fun food, some artist jewelry and scarves to look at. Chef was friendly and welcoming. Street parking is limited.
De Nada ... aka Cueva Bar is one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. Oz the the owner & head chef he was also featured on Chopped. Cueva is cute, comfortable, quaint and has a very relaxing feel to it. Cueva is a Spanish tapas restaurant. The food is absolutely fantastic. I think I’ve tried almost everything on the menu. The shrimp tacos are great, the empanadas and fresh Chimichurri is the best. The pizza’s are cooked in a clay oven which gives it a taste that irresistible. I did not think I liked dates until I tried his goat cheese stuffed dates. I also did not think I like olives but Oz had his way with them. The mole is great, and papas con chorizo is so good. Oz features specialty wines that are great as well. If you are looking for a home grown place that does not disappoint ... give this place a try, you will not regret it. Tell Oz Kesia sent you!
Found this spot one night searching for ceviche. I still have not had the ceviche, but it's because we are obsessed with the picsa and red sangria! I knew the moment I saw the word Picsa that something good was happening. Everything we've ordered has been the kind of tasty that means maybe you won't be going on that after-dinner walk, because you couldn't stop grazing after you swore you were full.
This is the new date night go-to, and the things we have done to our guts are unspeakable...the side salads alone are a full meal.
Chef is a celebrity as he’s appeared on multiple cooking shows, but his food says it all. It is fresh and inventive, and super tasty. You should go and get some takeouts and see why he was on all those cooking shows.
A bit over a month ago I tried something new. I ordered the Chimichurri Picsa for 20 bucks and it was better than any so called pizza spot's specialty pie. From ordering until walking out took about 20 mins and the aroma was killing me to only walk two doors away and upstairs to try the 1st slice. The chimichurri sauce makes it pop but the dough is where the party's at. The mushrooms & pepperoni were great as well. Looks and taste like a pizza should.
We, out of towners, decided on this as I thought the pictures online of the inside looked nice. It was nice and comfortable, and the food was a knockout. It took me sometime to try and gather flavors in my mind, as the menu will tease ones brain a bit, because of the options. I find the tapas and well restaurant chosen drinks, can easily catch you off guard for ordering again and again. Why not, it's hard to not want to try different combination tapas to drink pairing. We behaved tonight, but on a loose day, that would be another story. It's a good time. Someone will have to play some Spanish guitar on some nights.
Small restaurant, we sat outside, tried the veggie empanadas and jalapeno pizza- both tasty! I think next time we’ll get takeout to avoid the weekend wait times
This is a really really good independent restaurant with some interesting Latin fusion. The pizza with chimichurri was delicious. The owner came to our table personally and made sure that we were well taken care of. Excellent service and excellent food. We will go there every time we're back in San Diego.
My family and I were visiting San Diego and asked our hotel bartender for a recommendation. It was a bit off the beaten path (in a good way), and the minute we walked in the door we knew we were in for a treat. The decor is warm, cozy, and eclectic. It was well past happy hour, so the crowd was small and we grabbed seats at the bar. The chef/owner was welcoming and chatted with us throughout our stay. It was fun to hear about his background and the history of the bar. We ordered several plates, and everything was amazing! The sparkling Hibiscus is a perfect drink if you are looking for something light and refreshing. The sangria is smooth with layer after layer of spicy flavor. The only downside to our visit to Cuevas bar was that it had to end. Great food, ambiance, and wine!
We had our rehearsal dinner at Cueva Bar, and it was so amazing. All my guests were so impressed by the food. We rented out the entire restaurant for our party, the chef created a special menu just for us, and it was so perfect. Joanna was so helpful and worked with me to help make our event so special. Everyone had a great time, it was exactly what I wanted, I couldn't have been happier. I highly highly recommend ... even just for dinner any night.
