dos besos

I had an amazing experience at Dos Besos. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of traditional Spanish charm and modern elegance. The tapas, especially the patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo, were delicious, and the paella was cooked to perfection. The drink menu offered a great selection of Spanish wines and cocktails.The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made excellent recommendations. Overall, Dos Besos provided a memorable dining experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking authentic Spanish cuisine.

Everything was absolutely delicious, staff was fast and ready to serve and make every table feel special. The food was amazing, we had the salmon and the lamb. The salmon melts in your mouth and tastes so fresh! The lamb was absolutely amazing and tasted so robust. The owner Alejandro is very personable and great to his customers. I will definitely be back again for my next special occasion.

All of the food we ordered were tasty! They all tasted good but the standouts/favorites would be the pulpo, queso de bufala and paella negra. The pacing for when the dishes came out was just right as well. Vibe was good and service was great too considering we were seated at the far end of their outdoor area.

Sangria, ham Serrano, octopus, and seafood paella were ordered. All were amazing and service is quick. Always recommend this place when people ask me where to go for a good Spanish restaurant. I’d recommend making a reservation. Parking structures all around.

What a pleasant delight! It’s giving classic yet rustic and refined Spanish vibes. We had the squid ink paella garlic scallops, sea bass and delicious decadent almond cake & decadent hazelnut ice cream the old town Pasadena ambiance adds pleasantry to our dining experience. The table service is attentive & efficient. Some of the menu options are seasonal, based on the local crops. I had the lychee martini and it was lovely. I wish they would have more extensive cocktails options in addition to their extensive wines lists. Overall, dos besos is a wonderfully intimate setting to celebrate special occasion, having business lunch/meeting, or date nights.

After several attempts to make a reservation because it was always full, we were able to go and the food is truly spectacular. You can feel the time and dedication that went into preparing each dish in the flavour. The Spanish touch is noticeable from the moment you walk through the door. Highly recommended.

We came here to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. I made a reservation by sending them an email, and received a prompt response.We were seated pretty quickly upon arrival. We had the outdoor patio seating. Heaters kept us warm. The music playing, plus the decor was so romantic, loved the vibe.We ordered a pitcher of red sangria, the gambas al ajillo, pulpo a la gallega, Vieiras al vino (scallop special), pan con tomate, paella del mar, cazuela de mariscos, and the oxtail pappardelle special. EVERYTHING was delicious. Not a morsel left on the plate. Lol. We should have ordered some extra bread to soak up the delicious sauce that each dish came with. I'm still dreaming about the pan con tomate. It was so crisp and flavorful. My husband is already trying to plan a return trip. There are some other dishes we would like to try, and their desserts as well. I brought an outside cake for my hubby's birthday. I asked ahead of time, and their cake cutting fee is 2.50/person, which was fine with me.The service was wonderful. We had a wonderful waiter. And they even serenaded my hubby when they brought out the cake.It was the perfect place to celebrate his milestone birthday. The food was outstanding, and the ambiance and service was as well.We will be back! Hopefully soon. Thank you so much!

The food here was really good! We tried the Octopus starter and opted for two specials; Iberian Pork Paella, and a Braised Oxtail Pasta. Our friends got the Seafood Paella. All were great.For dessert, we got afogatos that were good and friends got bread pudding that was more like a custard and opinions were divided.Place is super tiny but cute and they have an outdoor space that was comfortable enough, but sat directly across from a neighboring restaurant that had obnoxious mariachi music playing the entire time. Certainly not Dos Besos' fault, but it was annoying.Service was fine. All in all, a good evening, and the food was the star.
