With Mediterranean Accents

With Mediterranean Accents
Romesco is a hidden culinary gem tucked away in beautiful Bonita California nestled between the cities of Chula Vista and San Diego. Mediterranean techniques and authentic Mexican recipes result in a rustic forward thinking cuisine reflecting a unique menu that creates a flare with both locals and out of town visitors gaining recognition as San Diego’s Best Mexican Restaurant for three years in a row by San Diego Magazine.

Far from complexities or presumptions, Romesco is a simple but elegant bistro dedicated to serving harmonic courses and diverse tapas based on color, taste, texture and aromas. If you want to enjoy a more relaxed-formal experience our main dining room was designed to evoke a touch of Mediterranean flair like a classic European Bistro should. If you would like a more lively experience, Inside the Restaurant but in a separate room is a Spanish Tapas Bar.

This space reflects and inspires a Spanish barroom with surroundings of bullfight paintings and warm dark wood décor that will make you want to stay long into the night and enjoy an extensive happy hour menu that includes tapas and house specialty drinks like the acclaimed tamarindo martini. Make sure to sip on one of our specialty cocktails, Baja California wines or regional craft beer from one of San Diego’s or Baja’s most acclaimed Microbreweries.

Zagat describes Romesco as “fabulous, imaginative and upscale Mexican cuisine with Mediterranean accents.” Salud!

Best Tapas Bar

Best Tapas Bar
Nestled between San Diego and Chula Vista, right in the heart of Bonita, sits the city’s hottest tapas bar. In Romesco, Mexican cuisine and Mediterranean techniques come together to create something as delicious as it is special. Romesco is a place of mouthwatering contrast and imaginative fusions; an upscale dining experience that mixes the tastefulness of a bistro with the laid-back atmosphere of a tapas bar.

Romesco’s unique personality isn’t restricted to its cuisine either: The restaurant is split into two different areas, both boasting the restaurant’s distinctive flavor in two completely different ways. The main dining room, designed to resemble a traditional Mediterranean bistro, offers a more upscale yet still relaxed experience that describes itself as upscale dining without pretentiousness.

Romesco’s exotic blend of two worlds isn’t limited to its kitchen either, as the restaurant mixes the tastefulness of a bistro with the laid-back atmosphere of a tapas bar, resulting in a venue that can be visited at night or day, both for upscale meals and fun nights out. Romesco’s main dining area, designed to resemble the traditional Mediterranean bistro, offers the perfect setting for a relaxed yet classy lunch, or an upscale dinner without the pretentiousness.

Here, you can discover the flavors and textures that make Romesco a top Chula Vista bar and restaurant. You can also try Romesco’s mouthwatering tapas, which are, hands down, some of the best in the city.

Excellent Mediterranean and Mexican food. My husband and I shared 4 tapas: guacamole, calamari, gambas al ajillo and meatballs. All were delicious as well as the bread for dipping in sauce. They had a good selection of craft beers. It was Mexican Mother's day so they were very busy, but the service was impeccable. We will definitely be back.

Went to Romesco’s for an early dinner with my wife and 1 year old daughter. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our server Moses was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He walked us through the menu and made some recommendations. We ordered a bunch of tapas and some drinks. We will definitely be back because everything was delicious. The Caesar salad was amazing as well as the octopus and mushrooms in garlic butter. I highly recommend Kid-friendliness: Servers and host were friendly and engaging with my 1 year old daughter. Thank you
