on Citysearch Sep 24, 2008I've been there twice and both times were great. I love the idea of order dishes and sharing it means you get a lot more variety. I loved the Ceviche and my husband likes the Beef Adobo Shortrib. This is a fun place to... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 06, 2008I went there once, and it was some of the worst food I've ever had. The gazpacho was disgusting, so bad that I had them take it back, and I've never had to do that before. We sampled many dishes, and all of it was... (more)

on Yahoo Aug 14, 2007Mountain Views lone tapas joint is a far cry from the restaurants that line the Costa del Sol. The food is average, but pricy. I ordered two separate seafood tapas items for lunch and was pretty disappointed. The... (more)

on Yahoo Aug 10, 2007Tapas and Sangria: Food was good (although some dishes came out a bit cold). The parking in that area of Mountain View is not the best. But it's a fun place to hangout with buddies on a Friday night.... (more)

on Yahoo Feb 23, 2007A bit pricey, a lot trendy, still worth a trip: The caipirinha cocktail (with the orange/vanilla upgrade) is probably the best $8 cocktail I've had . . . yes, I ordered a second one. My partner had the mojito, which was... (more)
