    Indoor seating
    Jennifer C.

    This place feels like a bit of a hidden gem in barrio Logan. We came on a Tues night right around open and it wasn't busy at all. It's not a huge space but they do have a good amount of indoor seating and a long bar area. We started with a few of the holiday drinks, all of which were delicious and very pretty. We also got cucumbers, pork curry dumplings and the jaguar roll. The cucumbers were not sweet at all which I appreciated and the flavor was savory and had a nice crunch. The curry was a little bit spicy and had a good number of dumpings in it. The jaguar roll was a full size and all the components tasted fresh. Service was a bit slow but it seemed like they only had one person working front of house and he was doing his best. Even though the drinks took a bit longer, they looked gorgeous and he would carefully walk everything over without having anything spill. We appreciated the attention to detail.

    Music at Jaguar Paw
    Sylvester R.

    I can tell you this place has special charm. My bartender, Jean-Pierre was super cool and made me this super refreshing and smoky drink called El Nene Malandro. It was very delicious. The music outside was the perfect accent and the bar was very clean. Very welcoming atmosphere. I will come back again.

    Stopped by here on a Friday night, delicious cocktails, vibes were good, service was great and they had live music. I want to come back to try the tapas.

    Love this place! The drinks are all so tasty and pretty. The sushi here is flavorful and fresh. Great vibes here for date night or an evening for amazing food. I'm shocked this place isn't more popular than it is right now. Definitely a great stop in San Diego! Service wise, everyone has been sweet and kind. Very helpful for recommendations.

    Tuna Pâté
    Vivian T.

    By day the space is occupied by the bright and buzzing Despertar Coffee Shop. Towards evening, it transitions into Jaguar Paw Bear tapas and cocktail bar and the scene becomes a little livelier! They do emphasize that the food is more tapas style, so do come here not expecting full blown portions. My friend and I liked our cocktails! We got the Summer Pop and one of their drinks with a passionfruit flavor, but I couldn't recall what it was. The space is limited to bar seating and a few tables, but they were able to squeeze us two in. We ordered a tuna pate to share. it was a nice snack, and the flavors were really unique and presented nicely. Would have liked to order at least one more thing to try, but we decided to keep it small. I have to shoutout to the staff who supplied me a portable ring light to take my photos of the food + drinks. That was such a cute surprise when they brought it to me while I was trying not to be disturbing using my flashlight.

    March menu 2025

    Walked in to a very casual ambiance. I had made a reservation and the server quickly mentioned they seldomly look at them. I got seated while waiting for a friend. I started off with a glass of red while browsing the menu. Their menu is small, and the servings are tapas style. Therefore one of each seem like the correct thing to do. The food: Oysters: served with some toasted goodies on top Sikil Pak Dip: mayan pumpkin seed dip, excellent flavors Chiles Gueros Empanizados: Yum! Think of it like a very fancy jalapeno popper. Absolutely delicious and worth ordering two orders. Carnitas de atu: ok, they grew on me, smoked tuna served with tostadas Menage a trois: fresh seafood including the catch of the day served with tostadas All in all a great experience at Jaguar Paw Bar. I do wish they served a dish or two on the heavier side to ensure a complete meal. Great service, friendly staff.

    matchas were perfectly made and whisked. also the cold foam on top was coconut with such a light cream, i think this is better than airoma in oc. for some reason service is harder bc one person does it all but i think she was nice n tried vibes r good and decor is cute, i hope to study here again

    This place serves creative low-ABV cocktails, basically with wines and spirits. The interior was festive and decorated nicely. Their menu was limited for the holidays when I visited. I heard it's not usually like that. My friend and I got the Negroni and jingle jungle. Both drinks were nicely done. We also shared a tapa which was the catch of the day scallops aguachile. The scallops were fresh and the flavors were perfect. The server was nice. I'd definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    oyster cheers
    Chanelle L.

    One of my best friends and I came in on a Friday right as they opened since we were in the area. They were still working on opening up and prepping some ingredients for specific drinks but they were super friendly! We ordered 2 tapas and 2 drinks: oysters (comes with 4), 1 okonomi hand roll, 1 pinche peaches drink, 1 Mexican candy drink. Drinks: 5/5 both were so tasty. It took a while for the pinche peaches to come out but the wait was worth it! Okonomi hand roll: 4/5 fish was fresh - wish the portion was bigger Oysters: 5/5 no notes Such a trendy spot with seating, art, good music, drinks, food. I would come back again for the oysters and to try more of their tapas + drink menu!

    Really enjoyed this matcha! I love the idea of a matcha bar by day and drink bar by night. This is a cute shop with a clean interior and good vibes. It was nearly empty on a Tuesday afternoon so I appreciated that they were still open. The strawberry matcha was delicious - definitely very sweet but delicious. Next time, I'd probably do 25-50% sweet if adjustments are allowed.

    Sol y mar cocktail
    Joyce L.

    Came solely for a post-dinner drink, and their sol y mar cocktail was a hit! Would order again. The small bites on their menu also sounded delish, so if in the area, I'd be down to stop by. The main con was poor air circulation -- smelled like (deep-fried) oil, probs from their tots. But apart from that, ambiance is nice. And the drinks were good!

    Food menu

    If you care about quality and care in your food, this place is for you! After coming here a few times I've gotten to try out their sushi rolls and I can confidently say it's some of the best and freshest I've ever had. JP is the bartender there and he is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, he puts so much care into his craft and you'll taste it for sure. The space is small but it's cozy and fun. I recommend the jaguar roll and the wings, for drinks, the dill fizz and the nene malandro are top tier.

    Bhadri K.

    Jaguar Paw is one of my fav spots in SD - Situated in the colorful district of Barrio Logan, the drinks and bites from JP are incredibly creative and fresh. The mixologist as well as the chef are a super talented duo - Was lucky to partake in a special Sunday food tasting and was totally blown away by what they were able to create !! Next time, I wanna go check out when their DJ's spinning some dance beats :)

    Alright. Enough with the nonsense Juan Jaspar…read more The staff is not friendly, unless you're a regular. The staff enjoys chatting with customers more than doing their actual JOB. The staff is entitled, upright and annoying. They don't have a proper waiting list system. You can't pay with your cc, only zelle and or venmo. Juan Jaspar is VERY dog friendly, like over the top. There's literally more dogs than people. They have sketchy chairs outside for you to wait until their heart desires. One tip for this desperate little place: time your tables to 90 mins max. You don't have the square footage nor the grit to keep it up. I do not recommend this place to myself nor anyone else. I am banning myself indefinitely from Juan Jaspar. Trust your gut people. I said I wouldn't go back and I did. That was mi mal.

Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. Menu looks simple, yet the server assured us they can make other items that aren't on the menu (like steak frites) because of the butchery next door. I will have to make another visit to try the steak frites and their desserts next time. Although there aren't many seats, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is friendly.

    Street parking only, very scarce. No obvious signage, look for writing in the window. They have a…read morering type camera door system. Wait outside on the sidewalk (no exterior seating) and someone will come to take you inside. Do not ring the door bell. The theme is to take it slow. Each customer typically waits 20-30 minutes to enter as part of how they do things, even if there is open seating inside. Not sure if they use a timer to space entries but it seems consistent. They take one group in at a time. Interior: A few tables around the wall and then bar seating. Would not recommend for parties greater than 2, there just isn't the space. They welcome service animals, babies/children and strollers from what I observed. The music was very, very loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation. I did not see a bathroom. Ordering process: After seating you wait for a little bit for them to bring small water cups and a QR menu with a table number and a set of rules. They do not have a physical menu, you must use your phone to order. Cell phone reception was dicey and took a long time to load. They have an interesting concept where you have a digital 'tab' open on their toast website. Unfortunately you must provide your full name, email and phone number. They have pour over drinks (note these can take 15-20 minutes), matcha, Hojicha and others. You may only order one drink per person at a time. They have a small snack menu with rotating foods. They use oat milk only. No substitutions allowed. After mobile ordering, drinks take 20-30 minutes as part of their take it slow vibe. Matcha $8 is from Paru tea and was very good. Hojicha $8 was too milky and didn't have a strong enough flavor. When you are done you walk to the register by the door and wait to be checked out. If they are making a drink you wait until they are finished. I wasn't really a fan. Staff were brusque. Music was too loud to converse.
