Opinions de Tapas and Beer Rancho Santa Margarita
Amazing service. Amazing food. Wow. I wish I could give this place 6 stars ! Calamari was succulent and perfectly cooked. Empanadas were flaky and delicious The loaded fries were awesome The bocatitos had a flaky pastry type dough with savory meat filling. So good. I can’t wait to go back to this place
The food and service was great 😊 we ordered the seafood paella and the shrimp ceviche 😋 we will definitely be coming back 👍
Great food and awesome service! They are also open to late! Their food was prepared and tasted amazing. Typically with "bars," their food is deep fried or soggy or just something to munch on--Tapas and Beer was just the opposite !! FOOD WAS FRESH and has AMAZING flavors! I'd definitely recommend their seafood paella and the pollo relleno-yum! Also, they do have a great selection of beers!
Solid beer. Solid food. Great value with friendly staff. Not to be missed if you’re in the area.
The food, beer, and service was amazing. Tony was extremely friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be coming back!

I had been here waaay back in 2018 and I guess it didn't make a memory for me but that has changed! I tried it again last night and I'm super excited to bring my husband here! The atmosphere was really cool. Not so big that your server loses you and not so small that you can hear others conversations. Its very chill and relaxing. The servers we had were set apart from the norm! Really informative, made suggestions and joked with us. We were checked on but not bombarded. The food came out in a timely manner and hot. We ordered the sampler platter which was Croquetas, Chicken Empanadas, and one other thing that had pork but I cant remember the name. Soooo good! The beer is cold and tasty! AND they serve Brunch! I highly recommend this place!
We checked this place since other nearby restaurants were closed later in the night. We didn't have any expectations, but damn the food was great 👌 The tacos were loaded with flavor and had good portions. The Meatball appetizer we had was also delicious. The staff was friendly and were having a good time with their customers. Definitely a spot to check out for a drink and street tacos.
They have extended their outdoor seating into the parking lot (since they can't have dining inside due to Covid 19). Was nice out there in the evening. Our waiter/bartender Nick was awesome! LOVE the food and drinks here! We always get the spicy fish (not spicy), mac and cheese and paella. Friendly, casual atmosphere.
My wife and I went there kinda late in the evening and there was hardly anyone there, which was great! Megan the bar tender served us, she was very nice and gave us time to get situated. We told her what we wanted and she made our drinks and food very quickly. We were super happy with everything and we are definitely looking forward to going back again.
We went last night to meet some friends. This place did not disappoint!!! The food was tasty and filling.. we had the fried mushrooms, fried zucchini, fried spicy fish as appetizers. OMG, to die for! For dinner, the Ribeye steak sandwich with sweet potato fries, simply Delicious!!! We all had a great time.
Finally stumbled into this place, everything was fantastic, food was great, pleasant service, would definitely recommend! Has a kids menu as well which I wasn't expecting, will bring the fam back again for sure.
Great place to go have a bear or cocktail. Taco Tuesday is great! Bartenders/servers are friendly and always make us fell welcome.
Only went for apps and beers. Fried mushrooms were excellent. Beer were tasty and plenty of TVs. Service was great as well. We'll be back to try the main dishes.
Definitely a hole in the wall I’m glad we found! I felt like this is a place that gets a lot of regulars, and I can also see why. The drinks were good and the food blew us away. We shared a couple tapas: croquettes and the Spanish meatballs. They both had a little kick, but I’m also super weak with spice, but they were really good and I’d order them again! Next time when I’m hungrier, I plan to try their chicken flatbread because it sounded good too. Anyway, great service and highly recommend!
Very cozy mellow atmosphere, nice and quiet for a bar. A decent selection of quality beers. And tasty tapas too! The Spanish meatballs and Manchego were both excellent. A bit stingy with the bread and the empanadas were a tad dry but overall a great experience.

Nice little bar prices or ok for this area. In my opinion of the prices were a couple bucks cheaper Tapas would be packed every night because of its Great staff all of them but Tony is the man and his dirty martini hits the spot. This is a must if you're in town and need a drink. No games no BS just good times good people and great drinks.

UPDATE: 7/11/25 Ryan is an awesome waiter. Atmosphere is good. Food is fantastic! Sundays can get crazy but any other day is usually very mellow :) This place has potential, but if you’re not a “regular” don’t expect good service!! Just come here and experience it yourself to see what I mean.

I really tried to give this place a chance due to it being so close to my home but for some reason the bartender there just gave me bad vibes. He would be extremely nice and welcoming to regulars but as soon as I would politely ask for a pitcher or a menu his mood would do a complete 180. I even had to ask 3 times for a refill once while he was busy vaping. There was also an incident where a "regular" got extremely intoxicated and needed help getting walked to his truck. One of the staff was completely aware of this and let this guy drive away just because he lived down the street. This was after my 3rd visit and I decided I was just done with the place. There is definitely potential as the food is good and the spot is nice but the environment just didn't feel welcoming.

Don’t expect authentic Spanish food here. The empanadas are dry with a ketchup sauce. Buffalo wings are good. It’s a cool bar for drinks & apps.

Ordered 3 street (tiny) tacos. Shrimp (good) 2 bites. Asada has a good flavor. Carnitas (was dark and greasy) appeared to be shredded beef. But by the time the server checked on us we were done eating. For $12 for 3 tiny tacos not worth it.
