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.

Really interesting food and so glad we decided to eat here. The sardines were amazing. We all went into it skeptical about the sardines but I can't recommend them enough. Make this a must stop

Superb dining experience celebrating my friend’s birthday. The waiter/hostess was simply fantastic - she walked us through the entire menu, asked us detailed questions about our preferences, and guided us expertly through the dinner. We felt cared for and comforted. The food was fantastic, the wine and beverage selection was wonderful, the ambiance was elegant (modern but warm), and the absence of obnoxious and loud background music was welcome to our 50-something year-old ears. Will definitely go back sooner than later!
