Sundays i do a drink and a app just to try and see if I want to invest on the restaurant itself. This place is very cute. It's only beer and wine. There's no really hard alcohol. The sun was whatever the octopus was whatever in a really hated those platinum plate. I didn't wanna try anything else just because I wasn't excited about the rest of the menu but maybe on my next Sunday I may try another appetizer and then see how it goes. read more

I RSVPed for Saturday night and tried this place the second week they had been open. It's spacious, with many tables, a beautiful bar, and decor. It was pretty packed, so I highly recommend making RSVP. We got seated right away, and our server came quickly. The menu is not a typical Spanish tapas but somewhat inspired and, with some Japanese flavors added to some of their dishes. We ordered a total of 8 dishes, and the ones that we liked were: NY strip tataki- it was super tender, and the ponzu sauce was good, tho. I felt that it could use a bit more salt Pastas bravas-classic and garlic aioli sauce was delicious Hamachi crude- it tasted super fresh and I liked the chunk of oranges in there We also ordered: mushrooms with gruye cheese, which was ok, smocked trouts Benedict, which was good, and pork ball, which is like takoyaki but with puff bread, and for us, it was a bit too dry. However, the sauce on top tasted good. For desserts, we ordered the chocolate caramel pudding and orange cinnamon cheesecake. We couldn't taste cinnamon nor orange in cheesecake and it was abit too heavy. It's served on the bed of graham crackers crumble instead of the crust. The service was great and the food came super quickly despite how busy it was. Overall we had a good experience. They had a bigger table so it's also a good place to come as a group. The place is definitely one of the nicer place in this are but not so fancy. The only thing we noticed was that it was a bit loud so when our server was talking we couldn't hear him well and he couldn't hear us well either. read more

Tried this place last night and was pretty disappointed. We had the Patatas Bravas, hangar steak, surf and turf toast, and lamb chorizo dishes. Patatas Bravas was good, but the potatoes were more like a baked potato and not crispy at all. The Hangar Steak was really disappointing - the "salsa verde" on it had the consistency of lentils and zero flavor whatsoever . It was just weird and flavorless. But The worst dish was the surf and turf toast- a cold piece of beef carpaccio over warm seafood?! Oh my gosh. It was so gross. The 3 stars are for the lamb chorizo and service. The lamb chorizo dish was delicious and service was very very good, however that's not enough for us to come back unfortunately. On to the next one! read more

Everyone that works here is kind and attentive. Staff walks around checking on tables and picking up plates. The restaurant is big, very organized and aesthetically pleasing. The location is on a busy corner so parking isn't the greatest but I got really lucky. We tried the patatas bravas, steak with potatoes & sangria. These are not your typical patatas bravas. It wasn't bad but it also isn't something I'll order again. The sauce is too much and the potatoes simply taste boiled. I can't explain it but the sauce itself is good but it's just too much. The steak was delicious ! I'll be ordering that again. The potatoes in this dish were a whole lot better and more flavorful even though they were simple. Sangria was refreshing ! read more

Mmm this place was amazing!! Great great first experience. We went on a Thursday night and it was poppin despite it opening two weeks ago. We ordered some delicious glasses of red wine and for food we got cauliflower, croquette, patatas bravas, bone marrow, and fried chicken w caviar. All of the food was fantastic, but the patatas bravas were not my favorite. More so seemed like a side of potatoes at an American restaurant versus a Spanish patatas bravas dish. Everything else was fantastic including our great server and the nice ambiance! Overall great experience and definitely want to come back to try other food items on the menu. read more

The food is way overpriced!!! Go to Costa Brava for much better food and price. I was really looking forward to trying the food and unfortunately was disappointed. The food is Spanish inspired and not authentic. The main part of each dish e.g. charred octopus, was overpowered by the tomato sauce. It was almost as if I was having marinara sauce with octopus in it. Same for the pork belly. Wasn't tender at all and had to ask for a knife. That was a first. I sat at the bar and the bartender was polite but was not engaging nor welcoming. She didn't check how I was doing or why I left my food untouched after a few bites. Guess she didn't care. The ambiance was really good. The plates were cute and I liked their playfulness and charm. read more

Had high hopes going to Finca for a tapas style dinner and was elated that this new addition to the North Park food scene finally opened its doors. Unfortunately for me, this restaurant failed to live up to the hype. Located one block down from a paid parking lot, making your dining reservation on time is relatively a breeze. Ambiance of the restaurant is nice enough with fellow foodies able to peer into the kitchen to watch where the magic happens. The food came out quick and service was on point. The two star review is a result of the food just being mehhh with nothing that stood out as being excellent or memorable. Keep in mind, only three items were tried, but all three equally underwhelmed. Left that evening with all three only picked at and a quick response that to-go boxes were not needed. read more

Finca - Eggplant dip, mushrooms, & carnitas plantains - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm always excited when a new restaurant pops up in San Diego and I get extra excited if the focus is on biodynamic/ low intervention wine. Finca is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. It's right across the street from Tribute pizza in a central location in North Park. This 90-seat restaurant has a beautiful bar that is first come first served with a full menu available at the bar. Tapas style shareable plates is my preferred way of having dinner so you can try many different dishes at a restaurant. We ordered a variety of different tapas including the patatas bravas, hamachi tartare (not pictured but super delicious), the duck croquette, octopus, mushrooms and the showstopper of the night aka the fried chicken and caviar!! When I go back again I will reorder: Patatas Bravas: super unique take on this classic Spanish dish. Very good and a good amt of food Duck Croquette: Stuffed with a ton of duck and served with a mustard sauce Hamachi Tartare: So citrusy and delicious. A touch of spice with the thinly sliced Serrano peppers Fried Chicken & Caviar: They actually give you a ton of caviar here. Well worth the price. All in all, the meal was reasonably priced (hard to find these days) and pretty dang good I'd give it a 4.2 read more

Ambiance was very pleasant. We sat indoors as it was our first visit and we wanted to enjoy the full menu. The happy hour has a limited menu and one sits outdoors or at the bar. Food was excellent. We enjoyed each of our choices. Service was very friendly and helpful. Very patient answering questions regarding menu items. We had the "porron" of sangria for two. Very nice flavor. Not too sweet, just right. Definitely will return to sample other menu items. read more

The service here is 10/10! We had a reservation for a Saturday night at 7 and were seating immediately. Our waitress Melina was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. We were checked on multiple times by the wait staff and our plates were cleared quickly and our drinks were constantly being replenished. Food came out in under 10 minutes! Food: Bone Marrow: 10/10 soo good! The red pepper jelly paired well with the buttery bone marrow. I still think about this dish Hamachi Crudo: 10/10 tasted super light and fresh. I really enjoyed the extra spice from the peppers cooled down with the tangerine and avocado Fried Quail: 6.5/10 the quail itself tasted a little too salty. It was my first time trying bread pudding which was interesting, but not my favorite Mushroom St. Jacques: 9/10 this dish had the largest portion size, so a good option if you are looking for something more filling. It tasted like a way more elevated but still homey, cream of mushroom soup served in a mini cast iron skillet Patatas Bravas: 8/10 always a classic. Had a nice lime flavor along with a few other flavors that really elevated the potatoes. Lost a few points because it didn't look the most appetizing (even though it was) and could be lighter on the dressing Drinks: House Sangria 10/10: We got the porron for 2 for only $20. This served well over 2 glasses each and was a fun activity for the table to use the porron. The sangria tasted warm and fruity and did not taste like alcohol which was dangerous read more

It's only been a month and I've already gone back. They are FAST here. You won't wait longer than 10 minutes after you order. Tried some new things this time, with highlights being the Hamachi Crudo and Mushroom St-Jacques. Our waitress also gave a wonderful rec in the Morca Grenache, which is great with the second half of your meal or as a nightcap. The food is excellent; my only qualm is that there are some inconsistencies in the quantity of food that comes in each dish. For example, the Mushroom St-Jacques can easily be shared by 6, but the Pork Belly & Cocoa Nibs is better for 2. read more

Finca - hangar steak - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I think I actually give this a 3.5 star, but I'll round up. Overall it is solid, just lacking the details in my opinion. And for what you end up paying by the end of the night, could be better. I love the vibe of the restaurant, really nice interior and ambiance. The service is great as well. The food is good, but I find it to be lacking that final finesse that justifies the price for their small plates. I'd say it's worth going to because it is still all enjoyable, but don't expect perfectly executed tapas at the end of the night. Best things I had were the lamb chorizo and the potatas bravas. I'm going to keep this review short and just say the majority of everything else was too sweet or lacking in salt and acidity. All good and enjoyable, just not great. read more

We sat at the bar and I looked for bag hooks underneath, but was bummed when I didn't find them. Our server told us about the different wines, and we both decided to go with a sparkling wine. We both enjoyed them. We ordered the beef tartare and my friend, and I both agreed that if we didn't know that it was beef tartare, we would think that it was some sort of fish. It was disguised pretty well and did not taste like beef. It tasted yummy though, and I liked everything that was on it. The herb bread that it came on is layered and it tasted a bit old at first, but I ended up liking it. The bone marrow had a jelly on top which was so overpowering that all we tasted was the jelly. It was like having toast with jam. Again, it didn't taste bad, but it's not what I was expecting/paid for. The last item we ordered was a steak which was cooked perfectly. it came with corn that was seasoned very well and it also had a salsa like sauce with it, which was very tasty. We both enjoyed the ambience at the bar. It was humid inside as it was a warmer summer day, so it was a bummer that they didn't have AC or fans. The service was great, friendly and easy to talk to. Also, when we first started looking at our menus, a lady came by and said that she had updated menus. The only update in there was that everything had been raised in price. It felt weird to be seated with a certain priced menu and then get handed a higher priced one. I would still recommend going there as it was yummy and had kind servers. read more

Really gorgeous, spacious place with kind and attentive service and terrific food. Our party of three had the patatas bravas (nice kick to 'em), grilled eggplant, grilled chicken thighs (very juicy), and the hanger steak, and all were flavorful and perfect tapas size for sharing. But my two favorites were the sun chokes with a mild truffle sauce (as opposed to some places that make truffle dishes with a heavy hand on the truffle oil so that's all you can taste), and the lamb chorizo meatballs with a flavor profile that was out of this world. The three of us shared a bottle of bubbly rose, though we were charged $2 more than the published price on the menu ($55 inclusive of corkage vs. $53 on the menu). I only bring this up to remind management to keep the prices updated. Anyway, I think this is a new favorite, and such a hidden gem. read more

Came here to hype ourselves up for our upcoming Spain trip. The contenders were Costa Brava (too long of a wait), Cafe Sevilla (downtown during a Padres game), and this place. I'm really glad we ended up coming here! Service: As mentioned by others, service is impeccable. Like water-never-empty kinda service. Food: They are constantly changing out their menu so I will comment on what we had (might be different by the time you read this). The contentious Patatas bravas: potatoes with a kick of jalapeño. Verdict? It was good! We enjoyed it. Hamachi Crudo: Also done really well Grilled Pork Belly: Decent. Lamb ball: I liked it a lot, partner thought it was OK. Sherry drink (something New York in its name): fun drink. Ambiance: Great ambiance for a date night or fancier dinner. I would recommend this place for a date night or a nice dinner get together amongst old friends! read more

I love tapas restaurants, sharing different dishes. The yellowtail crudo was very good. The hanger steak was also not bad. Everything else was ok. The service was good, very attentive and we did not have to wait long to get the check. The restaurant is small but has a nice layout. I'd try wine pairings as I think it would provide for a better experience. read more

We finally got a chance to visit Finca. It is pleasant restaurant with a soothing ambiance that offers an immense selection of great wine and interesting bites. The service and hospitality is top tier. One of the hosts even told us the story and origin of the Syrah wine bottle we picked out. The food menu has a lot of potential considering the fact that their dishes are unique. However, the flavors do need some work. For instance we started with the chargrilled chicken thigh and the surf n turf toast. The chicken thigh was good but it was way too salty. The surf n turf toast would have been better if the bread didn't get soggy. We also ordered the stuffed fried quail and the fried chicken caviar. I didn't really enjoy the quail. I felt like they could have done more with stuffing. The fried chicken/caviar was also disappointing. The chicken was good but the cream and caviar did not really complement the chicken. Although their food did not hit the mark, it is a great place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. read more

Hello Finca, you are so much Fun & such a welcome addition to the North Park dining scene! Finca is a Tapas and wine bar which also happens to have a wine store & offer wine club memberships with special dinner events. The beautiful curved bar greets you as you enter and everything about the vibe is welcoming. Let's start with service . Our server Cassidy was fantastic. So knowledgeable about their expansive wine list & tapa selections, attentive, approachable and friendly. Ricardo, one of the owners , also stopped by to chat and introduce himself, which I thought was such a nice touch. The seasonal menu rotates and focuses on what is in season and local. On this particular evening, we decided to sample through their creative menu. We started with a bright crisp Cava by the glass to pair with the crudo which happened to be local yellowtail and was a tad fishy for me but well prepared. Next up was the chicken liver mousse, strawberry cinnamon roll, which I will admit was risky and it did turn out just ok but more like a dessert as it was on the sweeter side (pass) . Next up, the shishito peppers which were very good with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. At this point, we switched to a beautiful Spanish red bottle & moved onto the tasty spicy shrimp and corn fritters ( the dipping sauce was great too) & the fabulous local tomatoes seasoned with anchovies. Last but not least since we couldn't decide between the two beef tapas we had the solid New York strip tataki with a decidedly more Asian flare and the fabulous tender hanger steak accompanied by a wonderful roasted romesco corn topped with bleu cheese vinaigrette & added on a skewer of grilled shrimp to accompany it. At this point, we were Too full for any of the desserts, but next time. Btw they do offer low ABV cocktails, and house made vermouth which we were given a small taste of to end our meal. Wow, just wow, overall everything was so good. Will we be back? absolutely 100%! read more

Been to Finca twice now and both amazing. Vibe: Staff are friendly, insightful, professional, follow up quick, never seem like their trying to push or get you out. I've eaten at a table and walked in at the bar and both have had amazing energy. Love the natural lighting and the variety of dishwares that we were told were 2nd hand which is very cool. Food: the food is pricey but a well worth it. Super unique and tasty. My absolute favorite is the Strawberry Chicken Liver Cinnamon Roll that's balanced salty, sweet savory. A good sign of a good restaurant though is when everyone in the group has their own favorites. I've worked through most of the menu and I look forward to whatever they put out next. Drinks: The variety of wines are actually affordable and the home vermouth is great. It feels like there's a wine for everyone. Whether it's happy hour and snacks or a full dinner, it'll be amazing. I think they'll easily become one of the best restaurants in town. read more

Vibes were 10/10, great selection of wines and mocktails, food was delicious, and service was great. One thing I will say as a heads up is the portion sizes are small for the price point, they are tapas style so they are meant to be small, but even knowing that I was a bit surprised at the cost versus what I got, but the food itself was amazing! I enjoyed the strawberry jalapeño Shrub-a-Dub-Dub (non-alch) and highly recommend, it's fresh and flavorful, perfect addition to the bites. To eat we enjoyed the Patatas Bravas, which was my favorite thing we had!! The sauce, I could talk all day about the flavor, it's a must if you go. Next we had the Italian Dumplings, so good and the burrata was on point. I also had the Charred Octopus, if you're a fan of octopus, then I recommend getting this as well, great texture and flavor. Lastly we got the Char-grilled Chicken Thighs, perfectly cooked but if you aren't a fan of sauerkraut then you may want to pick something else, the sweet & sour chow chow seems to be a play on this, and I'm not a fan but my husband love sauerkraut and he loved it, so it really just depends on your preferences. Overall, I recommend this as a great date night or girls night spot, they have happy hour and a wine club! read more

Great experience. Creative cocktails, interesting dishes, and a lovely ambiance. Service was on point, as well.

Kind of a combo between Spanish Tapas and fresh California cuisine. Hamachi Crudo was yummy with a little spice. Eggplant dip was good Bone Marrow was great. Very nice reasonably priced wine list. Staff was busy, but hustled and took good care of us. read more

Happy hour was great! A selection of the drinks (wine, cider, cocktails) and featured tapas were $10. Drinks-wise, they were unique and the syrups for the cocktails and sangria were made in house. Food-wise, we enjoyed everything we ordered from the featured tapas menu, but our favorite was the shrimp corn fritters from the regular menu. If you're expecting Spanish tapas, this is not the place. Finca is more experimental and the chefs and bartenders churning out more globally inspired food and drinks. I will gladly return. read more

Finca - Beef tartare, eggplant dip - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I finally got to try Finca on Sunday and man was I impressed. Everything from the service to the food to the wine was just perfection. Also, let's not forget the decor. The thought that went into all dishware and glassware - how fun! We felt so welcomed from the moment we walked in the restaurant. We started out with one of their "shots". Highly recommend! We got a ton of dishes to share and I'm excited to go back to try the rest of the menu. Special shout out to the beef tartare - it is so creative and unique. Also, hanger steak and patatas bravas for the win. Honestly, it all was exceptional. Last, but certainly not least, the wine is perfection. The team is so knowledgeable and there are so many fun wines to try. All in all, amazing experience and can't wait to come back soon! read more

A good spot to come by and try once for the ambiance. For tapas, it was barely enough to share between two people but credit where credit is due, they were pretty yummy.... except for one plate. The skirt steak we got was absolutely CHARRED and only half of it was any good. For the price I'd expect slightly larger portions but everything is expensive these days so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Chalk it up to a mediocre night but I'd like to give this place another try in the future. read more

Nice spot in North Park with limited street parking. Service is friendly and the inside is nice, but very LOUD!!! Seems like they ran out of money for any acoustics dampening materials. Hard cement walls make the inside cold and not cozy. Simple fabric draped walls would help with the sound and make it a more regal atmosphere. The food was the best part. Tasty dishes with mouth filling flavor. The full pour glass wine was not inexpensive and measured out to the closes millimeter. They have a "Cocktail Menu" but they are not spirit based.I would come here for the food, the atmosphere and small wine pours will take some getting use to. read more

Good new spot in North Park. Atmosphere: Simple, comfortable, not overwhelming. Cute wine area where you can pick a bottle of wine to dine with. The bar looked inviting. The service was top notch. We had multiple folks help us out. Never an empty glass and the food was quick. Servers were friendly AND educational. Our server told us an interesting story behind shrubs and switchels! Tapas style dining experience, which I prefer to try many items so it was a plus. Wine: Great selection. Clean and not mainstream. Servers knew their wine and everything they recommended was excellent. Food: Eggplant Dip with house chips- chips had too much seasoning and overpowered the flavor of the dip. Surf and Turf Toast- interesting. Good flavors, carpaccio was clean and not fatty. Pork Balls- Bonito flakes were a nice touch. 6 balls to a serving was good to share. Hamachi Crudo- Extremely fresh with a citrus flavor. Delightful. Char-grilled Chicken Thighs- a bit overdone, nothing that stood out. New York Strip Tataki- Odd flavor to me. Could have been the fermented scallop ponzu that caught me off guard. Odd smell, wouldn't order again. Duck Confit- Excellent including the mustard dipping sauce. Warm Brie- Underwhelming, plain, bread underdone. Chocolate Caramel Pudding- Nice ending to our meal. Good flavors. Glad to have tried this place. Will come back for the wine and service and to try the other small tapas that we didn't get to. read more

I was a bit disappointed by this experience. The happy hour had limited options. We got the beef tartare (decent), potatas bravas (which is not traditional, it's more of a pesto sauce), and the crudo (very good).) the waiters didn't really go over the happy hour menu and we had a few different servers in the hour we were there. The orange wine on the happy hour menu was terrible. The ambiance was nice and quiet with wine bottles in the back and an open bar. I was really looking forward to their happy hour but wouldn't go back. read more

Finca is a new, modern space, very contemporary with hard, reflective surfaces. The elongated room gives for a rather different feel depending on where you're sitting. The bar is very attractive. You can sit in front of the service area and watch prep. All seating is not far from windows thanks to the long layout. The food menu is mostly tapas-style items meaning more fusion than Spanish. Influences are Japanese, Korean, and American. It is a good-sized menu, not overwhelming with options but with enough variation that will likely have something that will appeal to everyone in your party. We had the Charred Eggplant Dip, Mushroom St.-Jacques, Grilled Sunchokes, Cinnamon and Orange Cheesecakes. We enjoyed the first two dishes but the former two were lacking. Sunchoke flavor is already mild and it was completely overwhelmed by the gochujang. If you love Gochujang then this might work for you but I would not order it again. We did not understand at first that the cheesecakes were in fact two differently flavored cheesecakes. I liked the deconstructed presentation with "graham soil" but the orange flavor was extremely mild and the cinnamon was not even noticeable. At first, we thought it was supposed to be orange AND cinnamon cheesecake and that one piece barely had orange flavor and the other somehow had none. It was fine for a goat cheese & cream cheese cheesecake but the flavors should be amped up and then it could do without caramel sauce. The wine menu is very extensive and this is where they have an excellent offer. Bottles of wine are priced with a $15 corkage fee but if you order more than one bottle, they sell you the bottles of wine without corkage fee which can be taken home or consumed at your table so you save at least $30! Biggest drawback is the noise factor. When it was crowded, I had a hard time hearing our party of three. It was better when it was quieter later in the evening but not being able to enjoy conversation is a big factor for me when dining with friends so I probably would not come here during peak hours. Service was friendly and quite good though it did have the feel of a restaurant that's still getting on its feet but doing a good job of it. read more

Service was outstanding. We had a group of five and most everyone loved the food. Half of us thought the steak and potatas bravas were over-salted. Most of the food came out very quickly but the steak took an unusually long time (30-45 min). The wine we had was very good. The oso busco with sherry luge was a big hit with the 2 people who had it. One thing of sherry is enough for 2 luges, no need to order 1 for each, as it is an add-on fee. They brought us a sample of their house-made vermouth and it was really good. Best I've ever tasted. Most things are your avg tapas size (enough to be shared by 2-3) but the potatas bravas was the biggest dish we had and one was enough for the whole table. (we had about 8 different things) This place is rather expensive, so consider is a splurge. The ambiance is lovely and the place is pretty big inside and also has a good sized patio in front. Would definitely recommend with caveats listed. The entire wait staff serves/helps with all the tables and again the friendliness and service was excellent. read more

We enjoyed an incredible date night at Finca Tapas & Bottle shop! The cab sav wine we got paired amazingly with each tapas! It was hard to say which tapas was our favorite, as they all had incredibly well thought out flavors that went together perfectly- but the mushroom dish and octopus truly stood out to us as top tier! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recs and very attentive service! We can't wait to come back again soon! read more

Pretentious. Overpriced. Pandering. The food looks pretty, but that's about it. It's small, overpriced, uninspired. It's obviously marketed as Spanish-inspired, but there's very little influence here beyond calling the food "tapas." It's more of an excuse to make the dishes small. We had the pork balls, xl duck croquette, octopus, and mushrooms; I can only recommend the mushrooms. The octopus is small, not well charred, rubbery. The pork balls were more bonito flakes than pork. The croquette was not flavorful and the mustard sauce was gross. The mushrooms were at least flavorful and a decent portion. The service was bad. It's pandering. Sad. We were seated before the table next to us by the same server and served second. My Spanish girlfriend had to listen to a 20-something explain tapas. I had to hear a wine spiel like the wine selection was something special (it's not). We sat waiting on drinks for too long. We had dishes delivered without room on the table. It was disappointing. Ambiance is as expected. There's a small bar, tables stacked with 'hip' North Park 'socialites,' and tables with couple groaning about the bill. It's also so dark I could barely read the menu. This place is obviously looking to cash in on the booming North Park crowds without offering anything close to special. These are mediocre meals at premium prices. You want Spanish food? Try Mabel's Gone Fishing instead. You want Asian food? How 'bout Saiko or Riki. Wine? Try anywhere else - or buy a better bottle of Rioja at Costco! Seriously, though, it's no Michelin star... so why should I pay for this? read more

I was very excited to try this new place but it was definitely not as good as I was expecting. The place is too bright and too loud. We ordered 6 tapas and 1 dessert. 4 tapas were good, 2 were disappointing and the dessert was okay. The menu lacks several classic tapa options such as gambas al ajillo, Spanish tortilla, a nice jam option.... The service was fast... too fast! They would pick up the plates from the table and take them away while there was still food on them... Overall - not worth the hype. Good options of wine bottles on the menu, though. read more
