About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines
Great for outdoor dining

El Lopo is a humble neighborhood bar from a world where California remained a part of Spain. We serve bar snacks that apply Spanish flavors and style to local ingredients, as well as wines, sherries, vermouths, and ciders hailing from both places.

Got together with two girlfriends. It was fun. Probably won’t be back anytime soon given other great options in the area, but fine.

Music was a bit loud for conversations but gives a good happy hour vibe if you are into louder background music. Set up for finger food although not all dishes are prepared intended to eaten with fingers...

Hey Holly, Thanks so much for dining with us, and for taking the time to leave some helpful feedback. To the last point, it sounds like we may have made a mistake. If we didn't bring you cutlery with some dishes that required it, that was an oversight on our part and I do apologize. I'll be sure to give that more attention moving forward! -Daniel

They have a good wine selection. Tapas were disappointing. If we were to return, it would be for wine/drinks.

Hi there, I really appreciate the feedback and I'm so sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the food. If you're willing share a bit more, I'd love to know what you ate here and possibly what you felt was lacking. My hope is that we can learn from your input and improve the experience for your next visit, as well as for others. Thanks, Daniel, Owner

Excellent food given their limited kitchen. Everything was super tasty, inventive, and creative. Loved the wine selection, and obviously you go here to try out some Sherry's & Vermouth's! All the wait staff is super friendly too :)
