    Peach tea
    Daniel T.

    The food is always good here but I feel like they skim out on the meat and rice for my burrito. The service is whatever just in and out 10/10. I also try out the peach tea it's pretty good, I recommend it for any tea lovers.

    Surf & Turf Burrito, Breakfast Burrito, 2 Taco Plate
    Sam J.

    Great tacos/burritos. Got the taco plate with chicken and surf&turf and breakfast burritos. All excellent, great customizable choices. Most importantly, got amazing service from Victor. This is a man who believes in his product and wants his customers to experience it the best way possible. Not from the area but will definitely be back if we're around!

    Hands down Chronic Tacos CDM has the best shrimp tacos in SoCal!! I've been on a very long hunt for the best shrimp tacos and they have my vote time and time again. Their salsas and guacamole are very fresh and flavorful! Chuy, Pablo and Andres make us feel like family and give us a warm welcome every time! They are always accommodating and make delicious food! Well worth it!

    2 Taco Plate

    The tacos were decent. The meat was seasoned well, but the flour tortillas were just okay. Service was good and the line moved quickly. There's a decent amount of seating but I think it's best for takeout.

    From the moment my friend and I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant. The food exceeded our expectations--absolutely delicious! We'll definitely be returning. Thank you to the team for a great experience!

    LOVE THIS PLACE! Awesome food! Great service and fun vibe! They have outdoor seating and completed our online order really fast! The staff is really nice and outgoing and included free sides with our order. Highly recommend!! We have been twice while staying close by on family vacation and recommend the California burrito!

    Great service!

The whole experience is what makes it special--the ambiance, the Latin flavors, the service, everything is on point. But what really sets it apart is the folklórico dance performance. You don't just eat here, you get a full experience. It feels like a beautiful little piece of Spain brought to Costa Mesa. The dinner is like a full three-course experience while you watch the dancers, and it's just so memorable and unique. If you're in Orange County, this is a must-visit spot--you really should treat yourself at least once. Also, if you stay after dinner, it opens up into a club and you don't have to pay entrance into the club. They have a nice bar outside, so the ambience is flowing Ali he with drinks. The evenings that I've stayed after they have two rooms OK they have a DJ room and then they have the band room, I don't know if they have a band every single night but the times I've been there they do and I like that you one room is very club vibe and then you can go into the band room and it's more like salsa lit up vibing. I myself still have a gift card for their café side that I'm excited to use soon and check out. Can't wait to go back this week.

    I go to Sevilla usually once a week on Sundays, for Salsa/Bachata dancing. And while I love the…read moreevent, I have to say the fact that this establishment still allows SMOKING on the patio is really disturbing. People are actively moving therefore they breathe that disgusting stuff twice as much. And don't let me start on breathing that while eating! For me personally...I already ended up in the hospital, because of second hand smoking, once. And I really don't want to do it again. Also what would be handy...is another LIVE bartender. Whoever is there so far looks like he's there as a punishment. Wanted to order a drink at the bar and the guy totally overlooked me. and that's not the first time. So yes...if the place can fix these two things, it would be a way more pleasant experience for, as I believe, many. Thank you.

Our food also came out fairly quickly, which I appreciated. I started with the Vaca Tonic which was delicious. For food, the standout was the La Bola -- a crispy potato ball with flavorful ground meat inside. I'd come back just for that. The scallops, however, were just okay. They were very small for "sea" or "diver" scallops, and the menu didn't specify what kind they were. The sauce was fine but nothing memorable. I was most excited for the wagyu oyster cut steak and ordered it medium, but it arrived more rare than expected and was surprisingly chewy rather than tender. Overall, the experience didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I love tapas, but this spot fell short.

For drinks, my husband started off with a gin spritz which was refreshing and not too sugary. I wanted herbal tea but all they had was black, so my server got creative and put fresh mint leaves in hot water which hit the spot! For food, we shared the sourdough pancakes with lemon mascarpone and blueberry compote alongside the shakshuka (with extra poached eggs on the side). Both meals were incredible! The pancakes were the perfect amount of sweetness as the batter was not overly sugary to account for the compote and mascarpone. The shakshuka was bold and rich in flavor and my husband particularly loved the naan that came with it. The struggle now, is whether we come for brunch or dinner!

It's perfect for an intimate date or fun night out. I would describe it has a vinyl bar with great cocktails and a unique menu featuring Asian fusion tapas/sharable bites. Fun fact: Sonder is owned by siblings Diane and Lamson and is located right next to Lamson's first restaurant , Kaizen Shabu! This place sometimes gets booked for private events so I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation as to not wait and guarantee it isn't closed the day you want to come. There is also usually events or a live DJ later in the evenings so check their instagram to be up at date @sonderdtsa. The food here is absolutely delicious and flavorful. It tastes both familiar but also new by putting a unique twist on dishes and flavors you already know. Some standout dishes are the little gem salad, dill milk bread, and charred beets. My only complaint is that the Sichuan fries were not as crispy and I would have liked. They are also quite greasy and heavy. But I understand why it is soggy due to being tossed in the Sichuan oil after frying to achieve the numbing flavor. We also tried the black sesame walnut for dessert and it was to die for; such a toasty flavor that paired perfectly with the creamy ice cream. While there are a few staple menu items, the kitchen seems to often be coming out with different dishes so you're sure to not be tired coming here time and time again.

They were attentive and kind and quick. They brought out some birthday ice cream for the two birthday girls in the party. Ambiance was great.
