Hector and Angie are the best. Their tapas are unique and delicious. Love the indurain skewers , shishito peppers and authentic jamon and Queso. Little known secret is their wagyu ribeye is the very best steak in the Bay Area. Perfectly flavoured and prepared. And the selection of Albariño , Rioja and Jerez sherry. Our favourite go to place in the south bay. Much better food than other top tier restaurants in Los Gatos and saratoga. With much better value. Our favorite.

Hector and crew did a wonderful job, as usual. The food was great with superb service. We've been here numerous times and it's always worth it. If you want to try a truly unique Basque tapas experience Pintxo Pote is a must.

Food was surprisingly tasty! Atmosphere is a little sterile which took away from enjoying the food. Chairs (metal barstools) and seating in general, not comfortable in my opinion. If they worked to make the space warmer, it would help the overall experience a lot!

An absolutely wonderful experience in every possible way! The service was attentive, informative and downright charming. The menu was incredible and had a sense of place while delivering incredible flavors and textures that led melded beautifully between plates. Wish I could give it 6 stars.

This is probably the most authentic tapas place you can find in the bay area.Their cold items are exceptional. So are the rest of the warm tapas items. They have only 1 dessert menu and they have perfected it.We got two anchovi plates, pulpo, oyster mushroom, goat cheese, chorizo omlette and bacon wrapped dates. Everything is absolutely delicious.The service was excellent. You can tell they care about the food they serve you. They prepare the food as the order comes in and the wait is well worth.

A charming and delightful Basque tapas restaurant in Los Gatos with plenty of parking and a well prepared assortment of tapas and Spanish tortillas. The owners are very friendly and helpful and their wine and beer list has a nice list of very drinkable wines and other libations. It's also reasonably priced given the care taken in the kitchen. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

In my opinion, the food was very 'meh'.. I found all the food pretty plain, and expensive for what it was. My wife and I left after our mains and headed to another spot to finish date

Hector, Angie, and Juan Carlos made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. We were dining with friends. The four of us enjoyed a terrific selection of tapas. Appetizers split nicely for two, other dishes offered a nice tasting for all four of us. The dishes were thoughtfully prepared, with high quality ingredients showcasing the flavors of the Basque region of Northern Spain.

Came here about seven years ago and never went back. Friends and I dined here for a girl's night, but this time, it was me and the hubby. He was so proud of himself bc he found this place himself; usually I do all the research and make all the reservations, but not this time. We arrived at 6:45pm and this place was almost fully packed. We tried to ask if we could switch to the bar, but it was already filled for the night. Angie initially took our order and helped us with the menu (she is soooo thorough with her descriptions of each item). As it got busy, Hector also helped serve our table; both were awesome. We had some ideas of what to order, but Angie's descriptions of everything was soooo good we just kinda let her pick most of our stuff. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious. Note that this is Spanish tapas, so portions are small and meant to be shared and eaten in one or two bites. I did remember that when we first came some years ago, service was slow, and although it was not as bad this time, they can benefit from another server. The manager came by later to thank us for coming in and explained that they had not been this busy since the pandemic. I'm glad to hear they are doing better, and well. Some side notes: Corkage is $25 although they have an extensive list of offerings. Parking is easy; there is a stand-alone lot. Will definitely come back. This is as close as it gets to SPAIN!
Thank you Hector and Angie (and the boys) for another amazing meal. Consistent. Attentive. Exceptional food. Per usual. See you very soon - we have to catch up to the others with >30 visits!

We had the most incredible food and the best service. The chef and our waitress knew their wine and food VERY well and took care to give us details about each. We LOVED the experience :)

This is the best restaurant I have eaten at in the USA in the past 19 months that I have been here.Chef Aitor is a master of taste and textures and has gone the extra mile, by specifically making additional dishes for the vegetarian guests - this was not requested, as the menu already has quite a variety of vegetarian options.I highly recommend this establishment.Vegetarian options: Although the menu already contain a good vegetarian selection, Chef Aitor made 2 additional dishes for us without asking for it.
Phenomenal. Personal, attentive service by the owners and the food was amazing. We only tried a small subset of the extensive pintxo menu and it was all very high quality ingredients and perfectly executed. We will be back. And yes those are really geodes on the wall.
