This authentic Spanish food had so much to offer anyone that appreciates fresh ingredients, flavor and quality food. We loved everything we ordered. All of these dishes exceeded our expectations and the wine from Spain was very good.

Maybe not as big as other places but they have them.Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree street parkingIt can be a bit difficult finding parking but that's because it's on J Street. It's really not the restaurants fault. Just be prepared to look around a bit. Eventually you'll find a spot. Depending on when you go.

Great service and delicious food wrapped in a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. Our Saturday evening was one of good friends and good choices. The live Spanish guitar is a great touch. There's a reason Tapa the World has been a Sacramento staple for more than 20 years.

We shared the soup of the day, cream of mushroom, lamb and curry samosa, and the lunch paella. They were all very good. We sat outside, and our server was very friendly and good at her job.
