About Vuela Tapas & Cocktail
Straightforward and welcoming, with a short menu built around sharing — that is the whole idea at Vuela, a compact spot in Arenal where the staff explain the concept on arrival and steer you through it. The crunchy octopus on mashed potato is the dish people keep ordering, and the cod cheeks and tuna tataki are close behind; the burrata with tomato is the one that gets wiped clean with bread. Two starters, a fish and a meat between two is the rhythm the room runs on, and a couple of cocktails — the Mermelada de Sevilla, a gin-based house drink, being the one worth knowing — fit naturally into that pace. Staff walk you through the pairings, and the energy is warm without being theatrical. Book ahead: it fills fast at dinner.
In the last 90 days, Vuela Tapas & Cocktail has drawn 41 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
