About El Pasaje Tapas

A modern tapas bar with a small rear patio tucked into Santa Cruz, El Pasaje Tapas runs a kitchen that earns its reputation dish by dish. The mushroom risotto — truffle-scented, with a texture reviewers keep coming back to describe — is the one to order first; the iberico tataki follows close behind, the pork tender enough to dissolve and the balance of rucola and sauce exactly right. The Korean menu draws its own crowd, and the scallops round out a card that moves confidently between land and sea. Luis, Grego, Lourdes and Marta are the names that appear in review after review — staff who read the table, explain the menu without being asked, and make the difference between a good meal and one people write home about. Book ahead.

El Pasaje Tapas is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

In the last 90 days, El Pasaje Tapas has drawn 47 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
