Vaca
Vaca is an ideal place for sampling Tapas and authentic Spanish cuisine outside Spain. From a distance, you can spot the brightly colored umbrellas and tables, set up on the patio, for your outdoor dining experience. As you enter, you're greeted by the sight of a well-stocked charcuterie counter, which is also home to their selection of cheese. The space has high ceilings, is well lit and the decor features wood prominently. There is ample seating, however, it does tend to get crowded, so making a reservation in advance is advisable. There is a wide variety of tapas to choose from, so sharing plates with friends is a good idea. Top Chef finalist, Chef Amar Santana is the driving force behind the hispanophilic menu with an unmistakable Basque flavor. La Bola, Patatas, and Gambas Al Ajillo are highly recommended.
