The Best Live Music & Tapas Bar in Bonita

The Best Live Music & Tapas Bar in Bonita

Though small, Bonita is home to many excellent restaurants and bars that attract visitors from San Diego and Chula Vista alike thanks to their laid-back atmosphere and mouth watering offers. One of such restaurants? Romesco, a self-described ‘Mexiterranean’ restaurant that blends Mexican flavors with Mediterranean techniques to deliver a truly unique experience.

Romesco has been voted as San Diego’s best Mexican restaurant for three years in a row, and it’s pretty easy to tell why: With a welcoming atmosphere, professional staff, live music, refreshing drinks, and delicious fusion food, Romesco is easily one of the best restaurants in Bonita.

What makes Romesco truly stand out from the competition is the way it not only blends two cultures in the food and drinks but also in the very bones of the restaurant, with a Spanish barroom and a relaxed bistro area featuring live Latin music perfect for dancing and partying the night away.

Designed to resemble a traditional bistro, Romesco’s main dining area offers a tranquil environment to enjoy the restaurant’s mouthwatering food, which features fusion dishes such as tuna tostadas, cazuelitas de res, bone marrow sopes, and more.

Romesco’s dining experience can be best described as “upscale dining without pretentiousness” and this is perfectly exemplified by the live music nights, which feature genres such as Flamenco, Cuban-Jazz, and other perfect to dance to rhythms alongside Mediterranean dishes like paella, risotto, filet mignon and more.

If you really want a party atmosphere, though, then you should visit Romesco’s very own Spanish barroom, where you’ll be able to experience the restaurant’s truly inspired mixology but also its one-of-a-kind tapas.
