I need to say that we were though crowd - world travelers and all good cooks who enjoys good food and takes cooking classes etc. and Tinto Tapas did an extraordinary job hosting us. So much that I felt the need to post this review. \r
We chose this place from Los Angeles magazine when we were looking to find a small plate restaurant close to my place. The real treat started as soon as the salmon tartare was served. I turned to my friend and said 'Taste that olive oil'. It was pure, rich and so flavorful. Salmon was fresh and totally delicious.\r
Then we got the first dish. I should say we were AMAZED by the mushroom dish they had. For 10 bucks, you get the best mushrooms (mixture of wild mushrooms) -- really decent size portion (not like other tapas places!). The potatoes (small cut fried potatoes with aoli) were so good, we ordered them twice. I should mention the bread. OH THE BREAD! It was warm, fresh out of the oven. We continued with the beef dish. Again no surprises, tender and totally delicious. \r
I saw tons of people having paellas. Full of seafood they looked and smelled great. We recently talked about it again and we will definitely go back and try.\r
By the way, the service was really good. Even the owner came to our table and talked to us. Really sweet man with a true Spanish accent. I totally loved it and will definitely go back.
Pros: Great food, good service
