Excellent! Great! Delicious! I didn't expect this when traveling to Lubbock for business. A cool, funky laid back atmosphere with high end food for pretty reasonable prices. I just kept eating cause it was all great! Sangria was pretty good. The Josephine salad was just perfect and the crab casserole was flavorful and rich without being too heavy which is good cause I just had to have the cheesecake with coffee. Perfect ending to a great meal. read more

La Diosa Cellars - Josephine salad and sangria - Spanish Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Service was great. Food came out hot and fast. Wine selection is great. We tried the house wines and they have some good flavor that spreads the board. Escargot was the best plate we tried. I will try the meatballs next time I come (recommended by the server). Funky atmosphere that is pretty cool. Reminds me of the remodeled garages in L.A. Key lime pie was weak sauce. I am used to it going Florida all the time. Needs the layer of whip cream that is bruleed on top. I expect that from a tapas joint read more

I really like the atmosphere and food at La Diosa. Aside from one visit where a girl helping us was cold, I've been very happy with my experiences. And the wine! read more

Very cool atmosphere and love the live music. Get a pitcher of sangria, snack on a variety of things with friends and you must finish with the coconut cake. Not your average Lubbock place, in a good way. read more

Reminds me of Austin where I'm from. Great art, great food, and great people. They have live music frequently. Be sure to order the Sangria! It's the best!! read more

My wife and I have enjoyed great tapas in Barcelona, Chicago, San Francisco and Baltimore, and now we can add Lubbock to the list. La Diosa had tasty tapas, generous portions and friendly service. The cheesecake dessert was excellent too. The only negative is that we couldn't get a coffee with dessert because the espresso machine hadn't been warmed up yet. read more

My roommate and I enjoyed a couple of pitchers of Sangria while munching on some bread and a tapas plate of meatballs. The atmosphere was great and the food and drinks were outstanding! I love some sangria and they definitely have some of the best. read more

We have just spent a fantastic night at La Diosa. Food was great, sangria was the best I have ever had and the music was nostalgic. What more could you ask? read more

LOVED! LOVED! LOVED THIS PLACE! The tapas are off the chain. The service is great. The environment is very artsy and comfortable. Wonderful wines & sangria. This is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend!!! read more

I love the atmosphere here. It's like hanging out at a cool, well-traveled friends house. Along with traditional tables and chairs, there are sofas and cushiony arm chairs to hang out and have a relaxed meal of tapas. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. The server was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. We had the pizza and caprese salad, which was fantastic. Made with locally grown tomatoes and herbs and New York Buffalo mozzarella, it is a treat. The house sangria and Mcpherson wine selections are great too. read more

Very good brunch! Reminds me of uptown Dallas eateries! Sadly only open for brunch the first Sunday of the month but worth it. Bring a date!

My favorite place to dine in Lubbock. Very romantic. It is a beautiful restaurant/bar. Love the decor and cozy lounge seating. The food is delicious. Never been disappointed. read more

Would love to review the food, but.... after being seated and given water and menues, it went south! After 4 full songs and 1/2 way through the 5th, still no waiter. ( live music, wish I had caught his name, very entertaining!) we saw our "server" once, but were unable to catch his attention . Apparently it helps to be a table of 3 attractive sorority types ! Scanning the restaurant , I finally spotted our server. Wait for it. Wait for it.... ON HIS SMARTPHONE ! We were never acknowledged as we left. Walked around the corner to Triple J and enjoyed as fine a filet as I've had in a long time. Returned afterwards, again never acknowledged, to tip the musician. Long story short , the service isn't bad here, it's nonexistent ! read more

Looked on Yelp for best resturant in Lubbock and it popped up. Got great reviews so gave it a try. The atmosphere was nice and the food delicious. I recommend coming for lunch and have a glass of wine. read more

I recently went to La Diosa with a group of co-workers. We prebooked a day in advance (important point as you will see shortly). We arrived promptly at noon and were the first ones inside. Our waiter took our drink order and everyone requested water. 30 - 45 minutes later we still hadn't received water or seen the waiter again. A waitress came and apologized for the 'delay' then she sat us up with our drinks and took our orders. The orders trickled out at a snail's pace. One lady finished her dish before anyone else got theirs. Then, two more came out. I'd guess they were able to turn out maybe two every 15 mins. We sat there fully three hours before the last person got and was able to finish her meal. The food is just ok. Certainly not worth the prices they charge. I ordered a panini which was essentially ham and cheese with a piece of a chili chucked on. When we went to pay they had the audacity to tack on a 20% large group surcharge. Needless to say, I won't be going back. Ever. read more

What a fun, eclectic spot! Went for lunch and our table split tapas and a bottle of the Viognier (which is local). The escargot was the standout of our order - dip the extra bread in the leftover sauce. read more

Such a romantic place. Took a guy on a date here and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was quaint and perfect for first date.

Unique! A great place for a first date! Grab some sangria and a few tapas and your golden!

We were in town for a wedding and stopped here for drinks. This place is a real gem with lots of wine options, sangria pitchers and delicious tapas made with fresh ingredients to share. Try the hummus trio and meatballs! read more

Very cute little place with great decor that transports you out of the usual Lubbock restaurant. We dropped in as a place to grab an iced tea and relax, but the things that marred the visit was the restaurant was too warm, the service was too slow, and a couple of flies simply wouldn't leave us alone. I an tell there's potential here, however, and we will be back to try the food. read more

Terrific food, loved the decor, and the unique seating setup was very nice. It was great to go to an evening dining place without a lot of loud children. I definitely recommend La Diosa!! read more

Delicious food and good deal on sangria! However, the tapas (appetizer type dishes) are priced as much as an entree for not as much food. However, the food you get will be very delicious. Worth it for a special occasion! read more

Adorable place to grab some good drinks! I recommend the sangria. (They sell by the pitcher too!) Live band adds to the relaxing atmosphere! Unique dishes too! Will definitely recommend to others and return in the near future! read more

What an incredible place. This is by far the most unique restaurant I've been to in west Texas yet. Decorations are amazing. Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Thank you for being different and true to yourself. read more

I went there with my 23-year-old daughter this past weekend, and while the place was beautifully decorated and the small plates of food were tasty, it was overpriced. The restaurant states that it has an extensive wine list, but I found this not to be true. Not one Merlot on the list at all. When I asked for further descriptions of other wines on the list, the waitress got the resident expert for us, who basically just parroted the descriptions that were provided on the menu. This wasn't helpful at all, and they are unable to provide samples of the wine. So, we went with one of the cheaper bottles of wine on the menu, $42, and it was just ok. Nothing I'd ever order again. Found out later is was a $19.99 bottle you could buy elsewhere. I understand that restaurants must include an upcharge on bottles of wine, but does it have to be more than double the retail price? Ridiculous! Then, at the end of the meal, instead of providing us with the bill, the server stood next to the table with her I-pad telling us the amount owed. I gave her my credit card, and she returned the I-pad to me to select the tip percentage while she stood there watching over us, which was a little weird to say the least. She then asked if I wanted a copy of the bill. Of course I wanted a copy of the bill since she never gave me the opportunity to review it before I paid! It wasn't until the next morning that I had the chance to look at the bill, and I was very surprised that I had been charged a $10.00 fee for the live entertainment. Never did anyone tell us that there is a $5.00 per person cover charge for the enjoyment of listening to the female guitar player singing mellow songs in the corner. This information should have been revealed up front so people can decide to stay or go, instead of slipping it in as a surprise charge at the bottom of the bill. To make matters worse, the 20% tip I opted to give to the server also included a 20% tip on the $10.00 cover charge, as well as the $12.00 tax! Normally, people pay the tip on the cost of the food and drinks, not the cover charge and tax. I hope the server appreciated the larger than intended tip I gave her. So, while we enjoyed the flavors of the food, I am left with a bad taste in my mouth since I feel deceived by the restaurant's undisclosed cover charge, the pre-selected tip options that automatically include a tip on the cover charge and tax, and the highway robbery upcharge on a very mediocre bottle of wine. read more

I loved the experience and the great artwork surrounding the whole place. The service was spectacular and I couldn't have asked for a better night. I had the opportunity to talk with the owner, which was an awesome experience on its own. To top that, the food was great and I'll definitely come here again! read more

Horrible customer service. There food is good enough and the sangria is great. However, my last three experiences here have been absolutely horrible. Last time I was there they had issues with their credit card reader. Things happen, I totally understand. What I do NOT understand is how you can ask your customers to walk down the street and go into a bar to get cash from an ATM and not make up for it in some way. I ended up paying nearly $10 in fees for using the ATM and the people at La Diosa didn't apologize or anything! I didn't expect a free meal but if they would have at least apologized for the inconvenience then MAYBE they would still have my business. I have no desire to support a business with such ridiculously poor customer service. You are better off going to Funky Door or Timeless across town- at least they have good customer service! read more

I love the atmosphere but I think it's over priced but is fun every now and then. The brunch could be my favorite but it's just not worth it for the price/portion size compared to other choices in the area. read more

Great place to relax in a low key upper scale environment. It's locally owned and operated so plenty of Lubbock style and artwork is integrated inside. read more

In Lubbock? I expect to see a place like this in Austin...good wine list...broad menu....we had the meatballs and cheese plate...both rivaled any I have had at other winery/bistros....good wine list..not just Texas wines.....atmosphere was cool...too cool for Lubbock if you ask me...please come to Ft. Worth! I will return! read more

Extraordinary. No insult intended to Lubbock, but what a wonderful gem of a restaurant! The tapas - all that we tried - were excellent (the tacos and the meatballs were at the top of the list). The empanadas were terrific as well. The vibe - and the ambiance - we're perfectly generated by the style, lighting and decor along with very private and individually unique seating areas. We are here for a now longer term medical emergency, and we will be spending some time at La Diosa Cellars. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went here for Valentines Day. It was absolutely wonderful! Even though there was a set menu for the night, the chef made it vegetarian for us! We really appreciated that! The hummus was amazing and everything was so fresh and made from scratch. read more

Service was fantastic, meal was amazing, and the whole vibe of the place was just great. Would definitely revisit.

One of the best restaurants in Lubbock. Food is consistently good and the service is always very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing, and it's a good place to sit and while away time with good friends and good food. I would suggest the lamb chops and pork tacos especially, but everything goes pretty well with their sangria. It's not exactly authentic tapas, but it embodies the tapas spirit perfectly. read more

I've been there just once and I really loved it. Apart from the decoration which I found extremely tasteless I really really enjoyed their sangria with their fruitata, which was basically a cheese platter. I'd have been more generous with the cheese though and I'd have added some brie and olives for sure. I hope our super nice waitress conveyed my message to their manager that anything like a cheese platter without olives is absolutely unacceptable. I had "Alfredo Jose" and I got to admit it was amazing. The lamb was cooked perfectly and was extremely savory and delicious. Everyone else on our table was totally happy with their food. Don't miss the experience! read more

A very different experience than what was expected from 'Texas' restaurants - in a good way. Great wine menu, and diverse food choices. Portions are more 'european' than Texan, so plan accordingly. Very pleasant staff. read more

Great ambiance and wine. Food portions are more like small tapas, but they were great. Their sangria is well-known, and for good reason. Get a pitcher! read more

Great feel to a perfect wine spot! Perfect for date nights or a girls nights to sit and catch up. Sangria by the pitcher is their specialty!

honestly who doesn't like a good glass of wine? this place makes it easy to enjoy a glass with friends because it's typically not overly crowded. The atmosphere is great and they will usually have some live music to enjoy read more

The wine and the food were fantastic! Had the McPherson sangiovese and tre colores--yum! Tried out several of the tapas and they were all fantastic! The atmosphere was great! However, the service was terrible. When we arrived, there were very few people in there and while it picked up a little as the evening wore on, it was never so packed that we should have received the service we did. The server was completely inattentive, we sat for quite some time with empty glasses. She never smiled and when we tried to engage her in conversation, she wanted nothing to do with it. Overall, I'd visit again but would not expect to go and be treated the way we should, given everything else that's great about the place! read more
