Downtown Long Beach nights get the heat turned up here with flamenco dancing and delicious petite eats.

The sun sets over the Pacific as people seeking a Spanish-influenced atmosphere invade this restaurant and bar. Colorful murals of Spanish haciendas surround tables filled with potent sangria and hot-and-cold tapas. When seated, diners enjoy stuffed baby jalapeo peppers or flash-fried calamari, followed by a hearty paella and silken flan—but patrons are often pulled onstage by the live band playing music perfect for impromptu flamenco dancing. The tempo speeds up as the night progresses.
