This is our favorite place in the area! The variety of flavors is outstanding. We like all of the items on the menu but specifically cold pinxos. Sometimes they have seasonal dishes like peppers or toast with tomato and those are amazing! Food is very consistently great and we leave very satisfied and happy every time! We bring all our guests and friends here and always have memorable experience.

Pinto Poxte has the fantastic service, an amazing food and wine selection. Tortilla de patatas beats one in Spain. Jamón ibérico, other tapas and pintos are made freshly, from great ingredients. The staff makes you feel like visiting old friends, not just random restaurant

Amazing and authentic tapas! Very friendly staff. We ordered about 10 dishes and we found all of them to be excellent. Highly recommend with the shortage of good restaurants in the South Bay.

It is always a joy to eat at Pintxo Pote! The small plates are absolutely delicious. I can't comment on the wine, as I don't drink, however I come back to this neighborhood favorite often to enjoy some fine eats. My favorites are the rack of lamb (costillar de cordero) and the bacon wrapped date stuffed with marcona almond (delicias). Give it a try!

My wife and I have been here over 10 times. The staff never fails to deliver on service and quality. If you want a unique experience in a jovial and chill environment we can't recommend Pintxo Pote enough.
