    We have dined at Tapas & Beers twice within a month period. Both times we enjoyed our meals and looking forward to go again and try different dishes. So far between both visits we have tried the following: Sausage Sampler French Burger with Truffle Fries Seafood Paella Chicken Pesto Rigatoni Grilled Black Angus with the Sautéed Vegetables Basque Burnt Cheesecake We have also tried at least 5 or 6 different beers from their selection. They have a great variety of beers. Cocktails are premade (canned). They do have a decent wine selection as well to pair with your meal if you prefer a wine with dinner. All of them have been amazing. You can taste the quality. The owners, which I presume to be the owners which are at the front of the restaurant, they tend, host, serve and cater to all the patrons. You can pick up their french accent, both are friendly and very knowledgeable of the food and every single ingredient that goes into every one of their dishes. We look forward to come back. My fiance and I are from Orange County and when we are in San Diego, we will make sure to reserve a table. The location is within walking distance if you are staying anywhere near the Balboa Theatre (Gaslamp Quarter). Give this place a try, you won't regret it.

    Dinner at Tapas & Beers was, as usual, excellent. The steak-frites and the French Burger were very tasty and the fries were outrageously good. Julie and Nael were, as always, very convivial and attentive. Our go-to place when attending a show at the Civic Theater just up the street.

    If you want to enjoy an amazing offering of homemade recipes served by the passionate and friendly owners, then this is your place. The BEST uniquely paired and the best ingredients you can actually taste (like the butter and cream in their recipes). We ate each of the recommended items for soup, salad, entree, dessert & drink. We were NOT disappointed. I can't say enough on how delicious the food was and how you felt like family! We will be back every time we have Balboa Theater tickets. It is worth the traffic heading south on the 5 at rush hour to enjoy Tapas & Beer!
