Party of 6 went for dinner on a Wednesday evening in July. We had an outdoor reservation and were seated quickly upon arrival. We started with a bunch of tapas, and they were all pretty good. I especially liked the lamb meatballs. Then, we had a steak and a seafood paella to share, followed by churros. Food was okay, some of the steak was real good. Service was a bit slow, but friendly. Came to around 120 per head including tips and taxes. Had a bottle of red wine for the table as well.

My first time here was phenomenal. Sat on the patio, beautiful summer weather, drinks were delightful, the food was on point. So of course, I had to come back. I love the ambience and atmosphere of Vaca. Romantic, rustic, beautiful. Sitting inside is awful. You are seated lined up on bench seating where you can hear the conversations on both sides of you. I understand it's a small place so unfortunately it's hard to do something different with seating. The food was as amazing as I remember it but the drinks lacked luster. Ordered a couple of the signature fancy drinks and they did not impress, so I switched to an off menu spicy cucumber margarita and that hit the spot. Overall a great night, just not as amazing as that first time.

My hubby surprised me to this place for my birthday recently and I have to say the food & service at this place is beyond superb! Our waiter suggested the best wine that went perfectly with the food we had. We also had our hand at the Iberico ham that melted in our mouth (highly recommend that)! The tapas were paired beautifully with other ingredients that I would’ve never thought meshed well together & I was able to taste every single thing in each plate. Nothing was overbearing or overly seasoned. My only vice is the churros we had. They were a bit too thick for my liking and were undercooked in the middle, but this doesn’t stop me from giving this place 5 stars. Thank you for the lovely experience & amazing dishes!!

My fiance and I came here to celebrate our new jobs and we were blown away. The food was unbelievable, I think this is the best steak I've ever had in my life. Getting to pick your own steak from the case is a real treat. We also got a couple of tapas which were delicious. She got the Paella, which was a huge portion and absolutely loaded with all kinds of meats. The rice was cooked to perfection. Service was great, ambiance is lovely, I think my only complaint was our table was pretty small and wobbly, not ideal given the price of the meal, but a minor gripe at most. If you're celebrating or trying to impress someone, this is the place to go. We'll absolutely come back for sure. I may go try and find another job just so I've got an excuse to back 😂
