   We went for the briny boys event where they played with umami and the cocktails were so well balanced and super explorational all at once.

   Food was unfortunately not memorable. We got the pan de tomato which could use some more tomatoes, maybe salt, Parmesan and basil? The octopus was very tiny, crudo could use some salt, the pepper with goat cheese was great.

   Great tapas, not a ton of choices but everything was delicious, seasoned well, and well cooked. The Kalimotxo were exactly like we remember and affordable. I like the wide range of prices and sizes, from larger portions to small snacks. Great for any occasion. Our servers were patient and knowledgeable. We had to send something back to be cooked more and everyone couldn't have been nicer about it. We will definitely go back!

   This is a great place for Happy Hour drinks and snacks. Service was amazing and the food is lovely, menu is a little short but it is small spot attached to a larger restaurant. Lovely ambience.

   The selection was excellent, however, I found several of the items overly salty. My favorite bite was the ham and anchovy. For those grossed out, it is flesh anchovy and not from a can. Usual and excellent. Limited special cocktails, but very good and well executed. Very friend, attentive and caring staff. We sat on the patio, which was nice. Two negative with the patio. The music was in competition while the Tex-Mex place across from it, making unnecessarily loud. Second, the some of the chair used were really low to the table making it challenging. This are kit-picky. One of the better Spanish places in the city in my opinion.

   Food was a bit expensive but enjoyable, mostly small tapas and items meant to be shared. Drinks were great but did take awhile to arrive.

    The restaurant was beautiful and a fun environment. We had 3/4 of the food on the bar menu. The salt cod croquettes were outstanding and the jambon with anchovies I could eat every day. The scallop crudo was delicious but not worth the cost. Maybe 1/2 ounce of scallops, the pan con tomate was not the best I’ve ever had, really just soggy tomato bread. The octopus was not worth the cost and had really no flavor, Eberly on S Lamar does Octopus 100 times better. Definitely get a porron of wine and ask your serve how to drink it. A fun way to really feel like your in Spain. Definitely would go back just would avoid the items above. Oh the service was excellent and friendly

    The food and the ambiance were good, but the server we had first acted very strange (making ugly faces) and made us very uncomfortable. We don't know her name, she had brown straight hair, I think. During half of our dinner, we had a new server without notice, which we thought was a rather rude move.

    Food was very boring and somewhat greasy. Where is the bread normally served with tapas? Why do you need to order everything at once? A customer does not know when they get full, your portion sizes, etc creates a stressful situation The waitress was hostile. She was crabby and not helpful whatsoever & just rude

    The music was death metal obnoxious. The food was marginal. $9 for a piece of bread was insulting. After living in Spain for a number of years, this was a very Americanized attempt that is over priced and over designed. I failed to find anything reminiscent of Spanish culture or cuisine.

    Great space, great service, and great food! Parking is the downtown experience so plan for it. Very nice reception by the host who was also very nice on the phone. Great patio (I'm not sure the heaters are necessary but, hey, the investors bought them so use 'em!) Z the manager is the man! Excellent wine choices, savant in his reading of customers, and gracious. I ordered the Spanish grenache which pairs so well with its little, skin tannins and no oak. The burger was love and the cheesecake spectacular. The vulcans (Roman mythology not Star Trek) in the kitchen are fire masters and have my respect. Yes, I will come again!

    Is it really that hard to update your menu online to match what you serve at the restaurant.? “Our old menu is online” by some snippy, unfriendly, unapologetic, barely checks back with you waitress is not the best experience.

    It was a super cold night but we were kept warm on the patio with lots of heaters. They also conveniently have validated parking as well which is always a plus over other downtown restaurants. Food came out warm and timely. There's always a delicious selection of drinks and small plates.

    The tapas are extremely small so you will have to order one of everything. Good place for a snack and cocktail but will not go back for “dinner”. Only two vegan options (potatoes and bread with tomato sauce)

    Kalimotxo is a very nice, downtown restaurant, with good views, good indoor/outdoor seating, and great, eclectic, music. The food is the winner. I had the squash, salted cod croquettes, and basque cheesecake. Each was a perfect, tapas size portion, and delicious. They also had some authentic Spanish cocktails that I haven't seen in the U.S. Given that I have not been to other authentic Spanish restaurants in Austin, I believe this place is unique, and an excellent place to go out with friends for after work drinks and snacks, or celebrations.
