What Our Guests Say
"The paella arrived at the table still bubbling in its paellera. We sat on the patio as the sun went down over the water. It was exactly the kind of night you plan a reservation around."
"The jamón ibérico carved tableside was a genuine moment — you don't get that anywhere in Long Beach. The Spanish wine list is the best I've found in Southern California. Already booked our next table."
"We brought clients for a business lunch and they still talk about it. Private room, attentive service, and a paella that arrived at the table like a whole event. The best Spanish restaurant in Long Beach."
"Discovered the Social Hour on a Wednesday — half-price cocktails and a free mini tapa with each drink. We've gone back every week since. Best way to unwind after work in Long Beach."
"Our anniversary dinner on the patio — views of the marina, saffron paella for two, and a bottle of Rioja our sommelier recommended. We couldn't have planned it better. Reserve a patio table if you can."
"Celebrated my birthday here and the team made it feel like a real occasion. The crab croquetas and the squid ink paella were exceptional. If you're looking for the best Spanish restaurant on the coast, this is it."
"Eight of us for a girls' night and Telefèric handled it perfectly — long table on the patio, sangria pitchers, tapas for the whole group. The pulpo and the jamón board were gone in minutes. This is the restaurant you text everyone about the next morning."
"Three generations at one table — grandparents, parents, kids — and everyone left happy. The paella valenciana is a showstopper when it arrives. My parents kept saying it reminded them of Valencia. We have a standing Sunday reservation now."
