Our family has been coming here for years and we love Esperpento. The tapas menu is varied and the food is consistently good. The vegetarian is happy with the many vegetables available (especially grilled artichokes and grilled asparagus with garlic and the cheese selection. There are plenty of seafood dishes and we always get the grilled trout and the sauteed shrimp with garlic. There are slow cooked stews of beef, rabbit and goat and they are rich and delicious. It's small plates for sharing so expect to order 2 4 dishes per person. And it's very reasonable! We had a plentiful lunch on Saturday that with tip was about $25 per person it was our first stop of the day so we weren't ordering alcohol. (There are also large paellas for sharing but we haven't tried those. The decor is colorful and warm but the place isn't fancy, so choose it for fun and casual meals rather than a glammy date night. Their sister restaurant, Picaro, will give you a similar menu and vibe.Dietary restrictions: I need to eat gluten free and they are conscientious and knowledgeable about their menu items.

Service was quick, loved that we were not rushed, felt very nice to be able to hang out and eat a slower pace since we were having dinner with family. Really appreciated that. The vibes are cute, nice and cozy space.
